community fears as shale oil pro...., page-4

hmmm competely different Jake. The old processing plant at the QER site, when owned by SPP was a right pig, they could never control the release of sulphur. Hence why the locals are a bit gun shy. Place on top of that the way the state government went about reclaiming peoples homes at the time and trying to push people out at well below market value and it was a reciepe for disaster. The greenies where more of an added distraction. The way that the Ziff Bro's picked up the tennements and the processing plant was an absolute lesson in corperate takeovers by stealth. The new technology now situated there is completely different as well as tried and tested this time.But i digress back to the greenies

It was a balmy January about 10am in the morning, 35 degrees and 85% humidity, SPP were in the process of loading their oil tanker at fishermans landing when the greenies struck. Some numpty in a koala suit chained himself to the fence (LOL) within 2 hours he was asking for someone to get bolt cutters to cut him off because of dehydration.
