France: No to shale oil exploration and drilling

Protests are growing up in France against attempts to develop shale oil exploration and drilling. Demonstrations are drawing large crowds that can be seen on YouTube and e-petitions have started collecting significant number of names, like this one started by French MEP José Bové or this one initiated by two MPs (one from the rightist UMP party, the other a socialist) with already 80 signatures of French MPs and Senators. What future, if any, for shale oil in France and in other European countries?
