A common argument against Peak Oil is that it is not a concern because there is so much shale gas that can be produced. In the EU a bubble of expectations has been inflated around future production of shale gas in Poland. Now that bubble has burst. In an article from Reuters we can read the following:
“Poland’s first official report into shale gas reserves last week showed the deposits at around a tenth of earlier estimates – still enough to improve the country’s energy mix, but denting hopes it could become a European gas player.”

Ett vanligt argument mot Peak Oil är att det finns så mycket skiffer gas och vad det gäller EU så har man blåst upp en bubbla runt framtida produktion i Polen. Nu har den bubblan spruckit. Vi kan läsa i en artikel från Reuters följande:
Poland’s first official report into shale gas reserves last week showed the deposits at around a tenth of earlier estimates – still enough to improve the country’s energy mix, but denting hopes it could become a European gas player.
För att inte bli beroende av Ryssland planerar man nu istället ett nytt kärnkraftverk.
