dennis, in your article this fellow says my speculation about shale gas prohibitions in bulgaria, rumania, etc., may be true. it's a public relations advertizing campaign, i.e., negative ads about shale gas under their feet. "Aviezer Tucker, the assistant director of the Energy Institute at the University of Texas, says the Russian government is paying public-relations firms to spread "myths and misconceptions" about fracking so that Romania, Bulgaria, China and other countries will remain viable export markets for conventional Russian gas. "Where does the money come from to organize such [anti-fracking] demonstrations and brochure writing?" he said in an interview. "All that seems to point to a common source, which would be Moscow." Tucker made the same point in a recent column published in the Washington Times newspaper, charging that "Russian-financed public-relations firms" are behind efforts to convince people in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic and other Eastern European countries that fracking will either poison or consume all of their drinking water. "They use a fear of cutting their water; that's the bottom of it," he said in the interview. "The issue is the scaremongering about a new technology that the people in the East are not familiar with. And that kind of scaremongering is something that you will find in articles, in publications, in brochures, in chat rooms and so on." "
