"Thus, there is a severe “gas crunch” in Europe for conventional gas in the making. In this context, unconventional, domestic shale gas has been promoted to counter this downward trend. So, what is shale gas and how significant are European shale gas resources in relation to conventional resources of natural gas? ... But one should keep in mind of what the first fracking fluid used in 1947 was composed of: sand of the Arkansas River and “1,000 gal of naphthenic-acid-and-palm-oil-thickened gasoline ... followed by a gel breaker, to stimulate a gas-producing limestone formation” (Montgomery & Smith, 2010, p. 27). That gel of naphthenic acid and palmitic acid has also a more commonly known name: Napalm ... Now it is interesting to point out that while G. Edward Griffin was using this analogy to describe the private U.S. Federal Reserve System – “they are not, and yet, appear to be”, this view can also be applied to the so-called “Shale Gas Revolution” (Yergin & Ineson, 2009; Stevens, 2010) as well ... Sadly, one could get the impression that organizations like the IEA or EIA and OG exploration & production companies equally don’t sincerely say in which category European shale gas does fall. That private corporations don’t let outsiders look at their cards is one thing. But organizations pretending to have the mission of informing the public about the outlook of our energy supply, while sending out contradictory and retroactively corrected data is another. The impression the European public – and their politicians could get – is that European shale gas resources are known knowns. The cases are rare in which the message gets out that they are unknown unknowns. From a geological point of view, without drilling uncountable wells, European shale gas resources are known unknowns – resources we know we don’t know ... As Europe has passed its peak of conventional gas several years ago, it is more than uncertain, to be diplomatic – or simply impossible, to be realistic – that shale gas will substantially reverse this downward trend ... Finally, the quest for shale gas in Europe could be interpreted as a sign of blank desperation and cognitive dissonance in face of the demise of the petroleum age at home together with multiple resource wars abroad disguised as popular uprisings and crusades against terrorism on the basis of the deep time events of 9/11, which defy the laws of physics until today."
