France's Token Gesture of Banning OG exploration and licensing Passes

[Rodent + 1,424]

well, it unsurprisingly passed. https://www.ogj.com/articles/2017/12/france-enacts-ban-on-oil-gas-licensing.html

I'm interested though, so.. that 15,000 bpd that they produce, although a super tiny amount, will they have to buy it from somewhere else, or will they be able to gradually switch it to greener alternatives as it shuts off production as licenses and leases expire? And if not, how is this helpful? Who cares if you produce it, if you just get it from someone else who produces it? I actually think that's worse.

For what it's worth, it's not really a big deal I guess.
