This is just the start. It’s time the government started listening to the people. All we ask is for honesty and transparency with what is involved, respect and compensation for landholders and care for the environment. Is this too much to ask?
Fantastic to see so many people expressing their opposition to this destructive practice. Why destroy the land and peoples health when there are renewable energy sources like large-scale solar thermal and wind power commercially available right now, and being used to generate baseload power in other countries? No more fossil fuels- renewable energies now!!
