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.

With all the Muslims this will take them back to the 14th century for sure. Idiots who think they are superior to Americans
Well bless their hearts. Nice tie by the way too.
I have a few libtard relatives who will post this brave, world first move...
Can’t wait to school them...
Sadly, my three years of French in college and high school are paying great dividends now. C’est domage.
Dumb. Hey Frenchies! you can do it! elect someone who respects your freedom. Dump the lefties!
“France will also stop the sale of petrol and diesel engine cars by 2040...”
I imagine that their transition to flying carpets and camels will be complete by then.
Old liberals love to set deadlines that will not live to see. Such as the global warming alarmist crowd telling us we will all be melted or under water one hundred years from now. Long after they have sucked the last dollar of grant money from the taxpayers and gone on to their reward.
Next, Canada will ban maple syrup.
I bet the Guyanas are just thrilled with this stupidity. All their oil is offshore so there is no fracing (I wonder how they feel about gravel packing) but to ban all companies from exploring? Where is the Charleton Heston meme - "Madness."
That picture makes me laugh. We went on a mission trip to Jamaica last March. I didn’t see anyone wearing a coat. I often wonder what they would think if they could experience what winter feels like. The closest thing would be to go in a cave there or climb the highest mountain. The temperature is the same every day. 88-73. 88-72. 89-73.
The US should cut all ties to this suicidal country.
Don’t matter France will cease to exist as a free country long before 2040 maybe by 2020. It didn’t surrender twice to the Germans but will bow before their muslim invaders by 2020. Camel power for all.
THE FINAL NAIL IN THE COFFIN OF FRANCE.
I just wanted to say that. LOL
Merry Christmas Free Republic!!!
LOL! You nailed it!
This should be the headline
France to be a Third World Country by 2040.
France to be Merged with Algiers by 2040
When the Russians invade France, the French can defend themselves with their electric tanks and electric fighter jets.
A good time to invest in flag manufacturers as demand for white flags will be going through the roof.
If things stay the same, (unlimited immigration from the ME,etc.) I doubt that there will be a “France” by then.
Highly emblematic of the french propensity for letting others do their vital dirty work for them.
As if it’s going to cut back on usage.
