coal protests in newcastle, page-6

Yeah drove past the NCIG port facility today and saw the hippies sitting on the stockpiles under a bucket wheel.

Unfortunately, I've got a feeling this rising tide group who were responsible for the protests today wouldn't be too chuffed with offshore gas drilling either. When will these people learn that its because of our mining and gas industries that we are blessed with such a comfortable standard of living in Australia. Sure it's not exactly clean technology, but the potential for it to be green is there and that is what they should be protesting for, cleaner greener coal and gas technologies, not the elimination of these two altoghether.

I hold BUY so have a definite interest in PEP11, will be interesting to see what goes on from now onwards re SP, things are certainly getting a bit more tense from the way I view it.

AND I managed to yell a few words at them as I was driving past to let them know how I felt haha.
