Reviews
'In this book, Dr. Leonie Reins skillfully analyzes EU shale gas regulation, and compares it to the regulation of carbon capture and storage and nanotechnology. In addition, she masterfully places shale gas regulation in the context of the EU energy policy. Rather than limiting herself to identifying deficiencies, Dr. Reins moves carefully through the regulatory and policy maze, with much eye for detail and nuance, to develop an insightful legal and policy account. Interestingly, she believes that a new regulatory 'principle of conservatism' may be in the making, which would provide the EU with 'an excuse for regulation.' Irrespective of whether that is true, there is no excuse for not reading her intriguing analysis.' -- Lucas Bergkamp, Hunton & Williams LLP
