Merkel 2-Face: Shale gas ‘won’t be enough’ to curb U.S. emissions; More renewables needed

But Germany abandoned its renewable targets in 2012 and is building more coal-fired power.

Bloomberg reports:

U.S. emissions and energy costs are falling because of the country’s shale gas boom, Merkel said.

“The use of natural gas alone, however, won’t be enough in the very long run regarding the U.S. CO2 emissions,” Merkel said. “We also need the expansion of renewable energies.”
