    Strawman CSGguy - it is a logical fallacy! Repeating the fallacy doesn't alter that, nor does personalising it! My comment about owning QGC went to your pontifications regarding the history of CSG mining in Qld - holding QGC may just have given me some knowledge on that subject.

    BUT I am intrigued by this: "Electricity generation is not even the main requirement for gas in NSW. Its main usage is as a direct input to the manufacturing industry."

    I was reading something detailing this the other day and came away quite baffled - perhaps you can elucidate? The article I was reading made the same assertion and gave a percentage for power generation; it then went on to comment, as you have, that the remainder was used in manufacture; it then cited fertilizer manufacture as an example (and obviously a very good one). And that's where I started to have issues because it went on to list a series of industries which "needed" gas as an aid to manufacture (other than power) and I could see no application for gas other than power in most, if not all of them!

    Perhaps you wrote the piece I read, perhaps you could ask someone in the office? Anyway, could you elaborate what those industries use gas for - among others were things like building and construction and vehicle manufacture from memory!

    (Meanwhile I'll see if I can find it myself...)
