Coal Seam Gas Forum

Any one who denies my right to clean gastro power and spin offs, is a fracking moron.

I’m curious as to what data informs your opinion: what are the “two evils” and what is it about “evil” coal seam gas which makes it more suitable as an “interim” for whatever the “evil” alternative is?

As far as I see it, you have technologies that are expensive, based on a dwindling non-renewable resource and make a mess of the environment, and then you have technologies which run on free fuel, pollution-free.

But I’m sure you can rationalise your false dichotomy for us.

The lesser of ‘two evils’ I refer to are coal vs gas.

Recalibrate the rest of your argument please, Henry.

Is this a forum, or a faith based lecture? Going off the panel members I’ll guarantee it’s the latter.

I understand the wide reaching concerns of gas fired energy generation and the associated issues in the extraction process, and gas certainly isn’t my favoured option. But it is the interim lesser of two evils, and necessary in a nation with such limited technological options open.

This will just be an attempt to support Shane Rattenbury’s unrealistic and demonstrably misleading ‘Weathering the Climate’ plan.

Just because this is a relatively small area and population to cover in local Governance, does not excuse the need for proper research and consultation for a low carbon energy plan.
