I wish all those f----- hypocrites decrying energy exploration and exploitation tried to LIVE without it for a month. Just like the creep politicians in New York who don't want fracking but see NOTHING wrong with using the products of fracking from other states. Scumbags.


Whoosh. The intent of the companies there is to frack for _export_ to
make profit that does not, at all, benefit the Australian people - the
nominal owners of the resource. (Taxes on this are paltry).

Meanwhile in the east, the cost of gas is very high because exports (for
high profit) mean there is little for domestic use.

The jobs that come with these ventures are not all that great
considering where the real money goes...

Not to mention of course that in water critical Australia fracking is
water intensive and known to pollute aquifers.


Only if the aquifers are at the same depth as the target oil and gas
beds.


No. The problem is aquifers (that are used) are generally way above the
fracking level and so leaking pipes going through the aquifer layer
pollute it. Further, former oil drilling channels (long since capped
off) usually fracture at some point (corrosion, seismic activity, etc)
and provide another "channel" for the fracking pollutants (oil, gas,
chemicals) to get into the aquifer layers.


In that case the problem is not due to fracking but simple defective
practices with the well casing.
