German lawmakers approved a law that essentially bans fracking, ending years of dispute over the controversial technology to release oil and gas locked deep underground.
The text approved on Friday does not outlaw conventional drilling for oil and gas, but leaves it up to state governments to decide on individual cases.
But fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, which is carried out by blasting a mixture of water, sand and chemicals underground to release shale oil and gas, will be banned. …

So? Let Russia shaft Germany on gas prices....
That is what they’re inviting.
You can’t help the stupid. It’s best to not try.
These stupid Germans would rather employ Russians than their own people. They have learned nothing since the second WW.
So the UK can drill under the channel and get their oil.
The Greenie Weenies are very powerful in Deutschland.
In this case, stupidity is also a result of conceit, not just plain ignorance. They pride themselves of moral and intellectual superiority. You can’t change their mind when they are so full of it. Of course, this applies to liberals in U.S. and anywhere in the world.
“...The German population harbours a deep suspicion towards fracking and fears its impact on the environment and, in particular, drinking water resources....”
So the brilliance of Merkel outlaws fracking based on ignorance and lack of facts and just on supposition and hand-wringing liberal fear. Amazing but considering Merkel and her ilk are hard liberals, it makes sense. She is trying desperately to save her miserable job and performance. Hey, Merkel, how is your economy and that of your buddies in the EU socialist cartel??
Mohammedans by the trainload? Gut!
Energy independence? Nicht gut!
“Deutschland, Deutschland über nichts...!”
No nuclear power, no to fracking - the Germans seem determined to keep their energy prices as high as possible. Between the nonsensical energy policies and Merkel’s “friendly face” toward mass Muslim immigration, Germany is as likely to be as volatile and explosive in the 21st century as it was in the 20th.
If Germany plays their fake moral-authority cards right, they could draw to the political inside straight of “fracking is racist”.
Excellent.

Couldn't agree with you more, especially your note of German moral superiority Kaenzlerin Merkel has arrogated to herself as if her stupidity and arrogance can erase the horrible immorality and crimes of the Third Reich.
Merkel is essentially trying to leech off the millions dead done by Germany as official policy in those times and just use them for raw political power.
This whole thing is being done by the Mother Effn Saudis. Not the Russians so much.
All of this crap is the result of the raghead SOBs trying to gain control of the world by Islam. Either by the sword, or by slow death by monetary means, they intend on chokking the west till they rule the world.
Is this not the nation of Einsteins that shut down all their nuclear plants?
Have blithering morons and and blatantly evil dictators seized control of EVERY government on the planet?
Not every government but enough that sanity is certainly feeling crowded these days.
Not only a repeat of those circumstances but also a growing backlash against millions of refugees. The world as a whole seems to have forgotten.
Zerr vill be no fracking drillink!
