Shale gas – a chance or a threat?
The article discusses advantages and threats from the prospective of shale gas extraction in Poland. It lists conditions necessary for the creation of shale gas Eldorado. The author attempts to explain the main effects of shale gas extraction, refutes false assumptions and discusses controversy surrounding gas extraction. The article analyses how the process may influence Poland’s national security and geopolitical situation in Central Europe. The author concludes with a statement that the shale gas extraction might open up great opportunities for Poland and the European Union if the initial assessments of shale gas resources in Poland have been confirmed.
