60 Minutes Australia - Fracking - The Coal Seam Gas Land Grab

*** Wake Up World Viewer Special - http://aquaponics.wakeup-world.com. Fracking is destroying our water and soil. Take control of your what you eat by creating your own organic aquaponics system at home. Easy step by step guide & cheap to create. ***

Fracking is a commonly accepted term for hydro-fracturing, a process where water, sand and millions of gallons of toxic chemicals are injected into the earth at high pressure. The aim of hydro-fracturing is to fracture rock formations deep underground in the hopes of liberating natural gas that would be otherwise inaccessible, and to bring it to the surface.

"With hydrofracking, a well can produce over a million gallons of waste water that is often laced with highly corrosive salts, carcinogens like benzene and radioactive elements like radium. Other carcinogenic materials can be added to the waste water by the chemicals used in the hydrofracking itself". Source

Though the processes of fracking, our underground water supplies (artesian wells / aquifers) are being poisoned. This is occurring in every continent on earth for the purpose of extracting more fossil fuels. Large companies are moving in on people property (as we only own the top small layer of our properties) and drilling for natural gas via fracking, as you will see from the below video's, this process is destroying their water local supplies.

who gives a fuck how much it's worth, you shouldn't be allowed to set foot on someones land without their consent let alone build anything on it, it's outright theft, trespassing and government thuggery

Fracking creates massive cracks that suck the groundwater in.Australia just sells itself off.

Enviromental concern isn`t an issue.

@auntytantan If the outcomes were as bad as they say they were in Australia were to be repeated in the U.S. the result would be a mountain of paper work and huge legal settlements. I have no idea if there were settlements there or not but lawyers in the U.S. have a lot of power.

@simona2005 Anyone that appears to be in a position of 'being allowed' to talk, really don't have any idea.

@StupidCommentsMademe If you take the time to do a little research, you will quickly see that people in the US have as much choice as those in Australia.

All I grasped from watching this clip was a lot of comments, that went along the lines of 'as far as I know' - wake the frig up guys, and learn to think with your own minds, rather than relying the load of crap that we're fed from outside our country. I also feel the short/long term dangers that come from irrigation, to foods that we will eat, was entirely missed. Really throws the whole purpose of organic eating out the window, when our food is watered with chemical filled dangers.

@MsTsarbomba Excuse me but didn't Obama make similar proposition in the State of the Union address 2012 ? So is Obama and America communist ? It is simply corporatocracy. It solves two problem temporarily, it creates jobs so people are pacified.

So Evil. Such Greed. What happened to solar power? Those companies not yet bought up by the Big Corporations that try to get into solar? Look into what the government uses, which is infra-red solar panels.

This is an absolute shame upon the souls of those who pursue this path. From their uncaring employees to the corporate Hydra-Heads. It is time for us to use the tactics governnents do, find a way to Boycott these corporations. They do not deserve our $. Read Babbit- it's about water.

Jed Clampet struck black gold on his property.He moved to Beverly Hills. But for some reason if you have a valuable resource on you land in Australia, you're not entitled to it or the profits? Hmmm, just the government and they're mates own it.
