Maybe the article does not mention it, but the same outlet discusses fracking in Germany in another article. https://www.tagesschau.de/wirtschaft/fracking-verbot-london-energiequellen-101.html https://www.tagesschau.de/wirtschaft/fracking-verbot-london-... > Politisch ist das Thema umstritten. Im ARD-Deutschlandtrend vom August zu den energiepolitischen Maßnahmen hielten die Förderung von sogenanntem Fracking-Gas in Deutschland nur 27 Prozent für richtig, 56 Prozent für falsch. Deepl: > Politically, the issue is controversial. In the August ARD Deutschlandtrend on energy policy measures, only 27 percent thought the promotion of so-called fracked gas in Germany was right, while 56 percent thought it was wrong. It probably takes years to get these resources online anyway. However, Germany also has unused nuclear powerplants that are also kind of taboo, but public opinion is much more in favor of those. Something has to give.
