The hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") of coal seams is the process by which hydrocarbon gases trapped in rock deep below the surface are extracted. Drillers inject water, chemicals and sand at high pressure to split the rock open and create a pathway to the surface. Farmers in particular have been concerned about the impact on water supplies and quality. Learn more
NO coal seam gas and No mining.. This rape and pillage of our country has got to stop.. The people doing it can not be trusted any more than the politicians giving permission to do the right thing
Do not know what CSG is so, no comment
yes but I get all the coal and gas
Not really that sure
Yes, providing profits are directed towards funding renewable energy
Yes, as long as the projects are far away from residential areas and increase environmental restrictions and oversight.
Yes, but incentivise green energy
As long as the projects are far away from residential areas and environmental restrictions
Yes, as a gap to a renewable transition.
No but the should have CSI in Australia tbh
Don't agree with any of them
It should be faced out and replaced with environmental friendly alternatives
Depending on where the CSG (Coal Seam Gas) projects happen.
Yes, but increase tax and environmental restrictions as well as providing incentives to invest in renewable energy
Yes, but we should also encourage renewable energy resources
If there not enough, yes if there is enough no
In some situations yes
These projects can still go ahead but as long as they are far away from residential areas. Although they shouldn't continue trying to make these projects any bigger, they should focus on producing more renewable resources.
CSG should only be allowed if the projects are nationalised and profits go to the government
Yes with no risk to public health and environmental factors. And only as a temporary option while we explore renewable alternatives
Yes but with oversight and aimed at the very short term and minimal finding
i don't even know what that is
Yes, with the condition that government are part owners or tax the companies engaged in CSG.
yes until a renewable solution is found
Yes, if coal miners and mine workers/ engineers are given replacement work of the same hours and pay as they were previous to ban.
Yes, but research into future sustainable renewable energy should also be made
Yes, but with heavy encouraging on renewable and with oversight and environmental considerations
Is this not a task for mining companies to congregate and discuss? Why does the government have to have a say in literally everything?
we should invest into nuclear energy instead
No. Groundwater contamination is a definite problem and why should Farmers and their Neighbours who it may affect, not get a say in the Government using their land. That is very wrong!
