“Hydraulic fracturing is and will remain banned and currently it’s the only way to produce shale gas,” Batho said today. “Debate is now centered on a technology that doesn’t exist right now to my knowledge. A new technique hasn’t yet been demonstrated.”

France needs to take it a step further and ban the use of fracked gas to not participate in creating sacrifice zones. Still vive la France!

Why wouldn’t they just permit gas fracing. No water is used and there is no pollution.
