The move has provoked a backlash by Romanian residents with around 1,000 people taking to the streets of Bârlad in Eastern Romania on April 4 in protest against the fracking over fears that a gas leak could pollute water sources. ''Gas leaks are very likely to occur in areas where fracking operations take place and can lead to air and water pollution with gas and chemicals that are very dangerous to humans,” President of Romanian environmental ngo ''Romania Fara Ei'' George Epurescu told wort.lu, adding: “For Romanians, this is very worrying since some of the places where shale gas is to be searched for, are in the vicinity of towns and communities.” Fracking or hydraulic fracturing involves the injection of fluids under high pressure into boreholes to create fractures in the rock face, in order to release gas or fuel trapped underground. While it is widely practised, it is not permitted in Luxembourg and a number of other European countries because of its negative environmental impact. Romanian authorities previously officially opposed fracking practices but changed their position in December last year when it approved fracking in Buziaș, an area rife in natural resources. According to a US Energy Information Administration study the joint energy reserves for Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary are estimated at around 538 billion cubic metres, among the largest in eastern Europe. If fully exploited, they could allow Romania to break free from its reliance on Russia for gas. Epurescu said his NGO plans to sue the Romanian government over its controversial decision, which he believes put lives at risk.
