lpv:spoken text	"I am in favour of banning shale gas extraction within the Member States. The complex drilling procedure involved in gaining access to this gas, and indeed the subsequent extraction process pose many risks to both the surrounding lands and the health of its population. While these extraction methods may lower energy prices across the Union by increasing competition, the long-term risks outweigh the short-term economic benefits. Many citizens have voiced their concerns over contamination of groundwater and the risk of blowouts on the surface during the extraction. Indeed, these concerns seem well-founded when we consider the scientific facts and figures behind this method of extraction. Examining the situation in the United States and Canada, we can see it is an extremely dangerous extraction method, which needs to be strictly regulated where it is implemented."@en1
