The cold hard fracks
Sydney Morning Herald - Olivia Newton-John - 31.7.2011
AS A long-time advocate for the environment, I am greatly concerned about the continued health of Australia and its people. That is why I am horrified to learn of the extensive plans for coal seam gas and shale gas exploration here. Until recently, I was unaware of the hidden dangers lurking in this so-called clean natural gas exploration.
There are serious risks to human health and the environment associated with coal seam gas (CSG) mining and hydraulic fracturing.
