La Pologne s'est engagée en 2009 dans la production de gaz et de pétrole de schiste. Ce choix a intégré les perspectives économiques, mais aussi les questions sensibles de l'indépendance énergétique et de la sortie du tout-charbon. L'expérience polonaise est ainsi ancrée dans une situation particulière. Peut-elle servir de modèle?
