Move is a world first but largely symbolic as France imports most oil and gas It produces 815,000 tonnes of oil per year, same as Saudi Arabia in few hours President Macron wants France to be at the forefront of switch from fossil fuels France will also stop the sale of petrol and diesel engine cars by 2040 France's parliament has approved a law banning all exploration and production of oil and natural gas by 2040, both within the country and its overseas territories.
In what is a world first, under the new law, all existing drilling permits will not be renewed and no new exploration licenses will be granted.
The move is largely symbolic as France imports most of its oil and gas, only extracting the equivalent of about 815,000 tonnes of oil per year, an amount produced in a few hours by Saudi Arabia.

Ping.
“The French government claims the ban is a world first. However, it is largely symbolic since oil and gas produced in France accounts for just 1 percent of domestic consumption. The rest is imported.”

Let’s see them ban consumption, which would mean more for the rest of us.
Bowing to their Saudi masters.
France to be a Third World Country by 2040.
The French will soon see Macron as the total idiot he is..................
As France descends into cultural disintegration, civil unrest and poverty, not one brave young American and not one American tax dollar should be sent to save them.
Will they be able to make candles?
Their candles will be made from Soylent Green.
I didn’t see that they were banning the import of gas, either (for consumption, to your point)
Has anybody told Total, SA?
By 2040 Franistan will be just another caliphate colony and the white formerly make believe Christians will have no say in anything so who are they kidding?

ROTFL! The Frenchies are really gonna be pissed in 2040.
No shortage of white flags, eh ?
Given that France will be Francistan by then, won’t matter. Third world countries use much less petroleum, devoting their time to chasing sheep and goats.
Or any nation banning corrupt stupid politicians.
