Kinda like Paint Your Wagon and No Name City... which finally collapsed into the ground from all the mines underneath it. Or maybe that song from My Fair Lady in the event of a serious mishap.....

"I have often walked on this street before,
But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before,
All at once am I
Several storeys high,
Knowing I'm on the street you've just blitzed".....

Cheesy

The vote is 5 to 0.

No one wants this fracking.

Tony Abbott must make it illegal now before more damage is done.

As we speak Abbott may be trading away our right to to place a moratorium on fracking without having to pay international energy companies millions of dollars in compensation.

The French constitutional court has rejected fracking:

http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2013/oct/11/france-fracking-ban-shale-gas

Quote:

France's constitutional court has upheld a ban on hydraulic fracturing, ruling that the law against the energy exploration technique known as "fracking" is a valid means of protecting the environment.

The court in Paris said on its website on Friday that the 2011 law "conforms to the constitution" and is not "disproportionate".

France banned fracking in 2011 and cancelled exploration licences held by companies including Schuepbach and Total SA, the country's biggest oil company, after protests by environmental groups.

Schuepbach Energy LLC, a Dallas-based explorer, complained to the court that the law was unfair after having two exploration permits revoked because of the ban. President François Hollande has said France won't allow exploration of shale gas energy even as the country seeks to reduce its reliance on nuclear energy and keep down costs for consumers.

"It's a judicial victory but also an environmental and political victory," French environment minister, Philippe Martin, said today after the ruling.
"With this decision the ban on hydraulic fracturing is absolute."

The technique, which involves blasting a mixture of water, sand and chemicals underground to release oil and gas from shale rock, has raised the ire of environmental groups who fear groundwater contamination.

If the French reject it then why don't we?

Don't you want reduced CO2 emissions to save us all from the Global Warming Boogieman?

Responsible fracking will do this.

As will nuke power plants.

France has the nukes we have the gas. Now Greenies, if you want to save the planet you have to drop the socialist agenda comrades.

All that killing off capitalism bull crap justs gets in the way of your supposed environmental priorities.

.....but we know that the environmentalism is just a cover for the real objective. Yes green on the outside but commie red in the middle.....

AGL seeks permission to begin fracking CSG pilot wells near Gloucester in the NSW Hunter

If the State Government approves the application it will be the first time fracture stimulation, known as fracking, has been allowed since a moratorium was imposed in 2011.

Greens mining spokesman Jeremy Buckingham says the application should be rejected.

"This fracking will occur within 600 metres of residential areas in Gloucester - that's outrageous," he said.

"The people of New South Wales need to be protected from coal seam gas and Barry O'Farrell has to deliver on his promise to create exclusion zones that apply for everyone.

"The Greens believe that approval of this fracking would break Barry O'Farrell's clear promise to keep CSG away from people's homes."

How does "If the state government approves the application" become "Libs want dangerous fracking under homes"?

Swagman,
There is no such thing as responsible fracking.
It destroys underground aquifers that will poison the
water for God knows how long -
maybe for the next 1,000 years.

That is why the French have banned it.

Get involved, send your MP an email. It's the least you can do for your grandkids.

Something like this will do:

Dear Member of Parliament,

Fracking for oil and gas is inherently unsafe and the harms of this industry cannot be fully mitigated by regulation. We reject the multi-million dollar public relations campaign by big oil and gas companies and urge our local, state, and national officials to reject fracking. We stand united as a global movement in calling on governmental officials at all levels to pursue a renewable energy future and not allow fracking or any of the associated infrastructure in our communities or any communities. We are fighting fracking, frac sand mining, pipelines, compressor stations, LNG terminals, exports of natural gas, coal seam gas, coal bed methane and more. Fracking is not part of our vision for a clean energy future and should be banned.

Global Frackdown: World prepares for protest against shale gas production

Thousands of people worldwide are expected to join the Global Frackdown protest on October 19. ‘Fracktivists’ from over 20 countries will gather to demand an end to fracking and “dangerous” shale gas drillings.

Numerous events are scheduled to take place mainly across the US and Europe. The global movement will be also joined by activists from Australia, New Zealand, Africa, and Indonesia. So far, a total 26 countries are listed to be taking part in the protest.

Fracking a single well can require between two and nine million gallons of water combined with sand and chemicals. Much of the used water returns to the earth’s surface, but contains radium and bromides - cancer-causing, radioactive substances. The toxic chemicals can then float into lakes and rivers or contaminate the ground.

On Saturday, Fracktivists in all participating countries will call on elected officials to open their eyes to the consequences of fracking, which they say is a risky technique. They will demand action to protect the public.

“It is critical that our elected officials hear the truth from their constituents,” the organizers said.
