RE:RE:Shale Gas/Fracking...I have heard this story before but watered down, thanks for posting it benduck. NZ has a massive problem with the Greenpeace movement and other environmental activist over here and they way they spin tall tales. They think just because they say something, it is true and no need to back it up with facts. Scaremongering and telling false-facts will always cut them down - always. Sarah Roberts would of found out real fast just how brutal it can be when she gets caught telling pork pies in the political arena. I think it would of been the best place for her right now, pity she is so umpopular. The largest water polluters in NZ are Dairy farmers and I think it is about time a certain amount of their profit should be withheld to help clean up our rivers and lakes to a good standard.
What no one wants to talk about is that the current 'white gold rush' that is leading New Zealand to a freshwater quality disaster. Dairy Farming is booming right now.
I've devised a way to help this problem in Taranaki and the East Coast of the North Island, reduce the amount of Dairy farms in areas where known oil fields are and set up more Oil Corps. in their place. What do you think? We could do it for the environment.
