"With increasing global energy needs, oil, which for decades has been the main source of energy, has started to show signs that its reserves are coming to an end. This situation has led to an exponential rise in prices and prompted countries to find alternative sources, such as wind, photovoltaic, wave, geothermal and other forms of energy. However, human ingenuity is persistent in its search for and exploitation of other types of fuel. Attention is currently turning to the exploitation of ‘shale gas and oil’. This fuel is widely exploited in the US, where reserves could guarantee the country’s energy supply for the next 45 years. In the EU, although its existence has been confirmed in several countries in central and eastern Europe, there are many reservations about the advantages of this type of fuel, particularly due to the fear of the side effects of its exploitation on health and the environment. However, I believe that the EU cannot miss the chance of new energy resources. All the positive factors, such as the impact on the economy, must therefore be analysed together with the negative factors, particularly in terms of health and the environment, and we must find ways to eliminate or substantially reduce those negative factors."@en1
