Brussels, September 20 - Europe risks side-lining its vision for a more sustainable, low-carbon energy future, according to a new report from Friends of the Earth Europe , unless it permanently closes its doors to unconventional and unwanted fossil fuels like shale gas.

In the week of two European parliamentary votes on shale gas, the report, 'Unconventional and unwanted' says that shale gas could lock Europe into continued dependency on fossil fuels, at the expense of renewable energy, energy savings and significant reductions in climate-changing emissions.
