lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, of course we need to reduce our dangerous levels of energy dependence on Russia, but the extraction of shale gas requires millions of litres of water and chemicals, it threatens already scarce water supplies with contamination and it risks geological fracturing which can lead to earthquakes such as those we saw in Blackpool in the United Kingdom. I welcome the Sonik and Tzavela reports, but I have in my constituency an area of outstanding natural beauty, the Mendip Hills, where there are plans to exploit shale gas. This is simply not needed. We have green, clean energy everywhere. While we will, in some countries, to some extent, no doubt develop shale gas, we can invest now in alternative technologies that can provide for almost all of our energy needs."@en1
