Frogs banning gas and oil production by 2040

[Gelston]

The French parliament on Tuesday passed a law banning the production of all oil and gas by 2040.

France will not grant any new permits or renew existing ones that allow fracking or the extraction of fossil fuels in the country and its overseas territories.

France is almost entirely dependent on hydrocarbon imports, so the largely symbolic ban will not majorly affect the country’s industries, but some lawmakers said they hope it will inspire other countries to follow suit.

French President Emmanuel Macron tweeted after the vote that he is “very proud” of the measure.

This just in, the US is set to ban production of Unobtainium by next year.

Are you kidding? Trump wants us to be the FIRST in production of Unobtainium. He's sending manned missions to planet Vespa right now to steal their air and unobtanium.

Only like 1% of domestic consumption is from oil they produce, so..

Yeah, it says it is largely symbolic. If they really want to make a change, they could set laws to stop importing oil and gas, but they won't do that.

What % is currently renewable or solar?
