'We've Made History': Ireland Joins France, Germany and Bulgaria in Banning Fracking
I don't know if these countries in total produce enough oil through fracking to make a difference in the price of oil or not. But it seems the trend is growing.

Ireland is set to ban onshore fracking after its Senate passed legislation on Wednesday that outlawed the controversial drilling technique.
The Petroleum and Other Minerals Development (Prohibition of Onshore Hydraulic Fracturing) Bill 2016 now awaits Irish President Michael D. Higgins' signature. The president is expected to sign it into law "in the coming days."
The Emerald Isle will join three other European Union member states, France, Germany and Bulgaria that have banned the practice on land.
Fine Gael TD Tony McLoughlin introduced the private member's bill—meaning it was not introduced by the government—last year. The bill passed Ireland's Parliament in May.
'We've made history," McLoughlin tweeted after the vote and called it one of the "proudest moments in my political career."
