France Becomes The First Country In The World To Ban Oil & Gas Production

The parliament of France has approved to pass a law to ban all exploration and production of oil and natural gas by the year 2040 within the country and its overseas territories. Under that law that passed a final vote on Tuesday, the permits of existing drills will not be renewed and no new exploration licenses will be granted.
