Call for the End of Underground Coal Gasification

Six Degrees and Friends of the Earth spokesperson Drew Hutton outlines our reasons for the abolition of underground coal gasification (UCG). This report was in response to the news that a UCG plant in Kingaroy had been ordered to shut down its operations after low levels of carcinogenic chemicals were detected in an aquifer.

ah, cool, i saw him and Rob McCreath speak in brisbane last week for FOF - it was extremely informative and well put.

There is no factual information that this guy is presenting. Just a lot of heresay and conjecture. He's preeching to the choir.

'Industrial wasteland' my ass - this guy is so full of it. Even today (110910) chickin lickins like him refuse to acknowledge the truth that the water samples were screwed up by the testing laboratory. Cougars plan to use UCG to feed a gas turbine electricity generator was brilliant and vastly greener than what we've got now. Yeah, lets crucify 'em on false evidence and put another lump of what will be higher taxed and more expensive coal on the fire. BTW farmland and UCG live in harmony o/seas.
