The NSW and Federal Governments recently struck a dirty energy deal; it includes a commitment from NSW to "find" 70PJ of gas.
This is a figure mysteriously similar to the volume Santos says it will pump out of the 850 gas wells in the aquifers below the Pilliga Forest. This project will put at risk drought-affected farms and allow Santos to drain 37 billion litres of groundwater.
This announcement is shocking in the wake of our catastrophic summer of bushfires, and the loss of over 1 billion native animals and 6 million hectares of some of the most biodiverse forests ...
The NSW and Federal Governments recently struck a dirty energy deal; it includes a commitment from NSW to "find" 70PJ of gas.
This is a figure mysteriously similar to the volume Santos says it will pump out of the 850 gas wells in the aquifers below the Pilliga Forest. This project will put at risk drought-affected farms and allow Santos to drain 37 billion litres of groundwater.
This announcement is shocking in the wake of our catastrophic summer of bushfires, and the loss of over 1 billion native animals and 6 million hectares of some of the most biodiverse forests in the world. How can our governments possibly want to put more bushland at risk?
Ninety seven percent of the local community say NO to Pilliga CSG—and tens of thousands of Australians have already voiced their concerns about this project with a record breaking 22,700 formal objections. Please write to the NSW Energy and Environment Minister Matt Kean to say no to opening up the Pilliga to unconventional gas mining.
