Promises of shale gas throw ‘unexpected wrench’ in Germany’s green energy policy - The Washington Post
WAGENFELD, Germany — Germany has one of the most robust green movements in the world, but economic pressures are tempting it to try something that critics say would harm the Earth: shale gas drilling.

Motivated by a rapid-fire increase in natural gas production in the United States, business leaders and some politicians in Germany say they need to act quickly to prevent the country’s industrial core from departing for places where energy costs just a fraction of the price. They worry that the country’s ambitious environmental goals are far less meaningful if the economy withers in achieving them.

From TheHill.com in 2012:
Nader also recalled trying to set up a global warming debate between climate change skeptic Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) and outspoken climate advocate Rep. Edward Markey (D-Mass.). Nader said that despite Inhofe’s eagerness, he could not get Markey to commit to the match.
