capman,

just got home and scrolling though threads saw this and wondered if you got the info you wanted, otherwise.

courier mail heading(25pt type bold):

( Nice subtle heading)

sub heading(wopping 45pt BOLD)
GAS WORTH BILLIONS MAY BE TOO RISKY:
points:
Extraction of gas may pose significant risks
risk of toxic chemicals leeching into water table(ie benzene and toluene.
Maryane lloyd-smith(head of national toxics network)
"Benzene in particular is a nasty,nasty chemical"
(must be a new wh&s rating system coming to your workpalce soon 1)nasty 2)nasty,nasty 3)lots of nasty..)

goes on to quote UGC pilot plant in wyoming and risks to groundwater contamination.

Also quoted pricewaterhousecoppers report and MD Peter Bond
talking about wyoming case as what not to do.Peter
goes on to talk about uzbekistan plant and Carbon Energy as a sideline.
finishing paragraph
quote:
"In the Surat Basin alone there are an estimated 25-30 billion tonnes of coal. Just one million tonnes of coal can yeild the energy equivalent of at least 300 million litres of petrol." Always hype it at the end(IMO)

Basically typcial of any newspaper article nowdays. Lots of nothing but maximum hype.
I don't hold just thought of passing on a view on the article
