The 'Damage' to Mother Earth has begun 'Down Under' due to Coal Seam Gas 'FRACKING'
Bubbling river blamed on Coal Seam Gas 'FRACKING'..!
May 30, 2012 .
Video has emerged of a major gas leak on the Condamine River in Queensland that conservationists say could be dangerous methane leakage from a nearby coal seam gas project.

Anti-CSG campaigner Drew Hutton, who helped to shoot the video on the river west of Brisbane, said there were several stretches of river where furious bubbling was happening, each stretch about 30 to 40 metres long.
The leak site is close to a CSG project from energy giant Origin.
The company said in a statement "underground coals that stored gas were closer to the surface than was typical". ‘‘Local knowledge’’ said gas seepage on the Condamine went back at least 30 years, it said.
While there were four pilot gas wells one kilometre away, these had not been brought into operation, it said.‘‘We are confident that the seepage apparent in the Condamine River does not result from our activities,’’ the statement said.‘‘Checks have been conducted on the wells and they confirm that no gas has been detected in or around the wells and there are no integrity or environmental issues.
‘‘Origin will continue with its technical inspections in the area and work with government, the Gasfields Land and Water Commission and the local community on the occurrence.
The Condamine River supplies drinking water to towns in the area, including Warwick, with a population of 12,500, according to the Greens, though the water storages are upstream from the leak, southwest of Chinchilla.
Mr Hutton said the gas could explode if it reached a certain concentration.
''There are hundreds and hundreds of bubbles coming to the surface,'' he said. ''Our gas metres shows that it's methane. It's dangerous.''
Of Origin, he said: ''They know about it. They've been out there. This has been happening for weeks and weeks. I'm not ruling out that it could be naturally caused but he chances are pretty minimal. It's over too long a stretch of the river and there's too much of it.''
He called on Origin to released all the data it had on the area.
CSG projects reduce the groundwater, which can cause gas to ''migrate'' underground and emerge in other places.
''When you draw down the water, you open up the possibility for pathways to be established,''
Greens mining spokeswoman Larissa Waters said the leak showed the need for a five-year moratorium on CSG projects - a motion the party had put to the Parliament without success.
''Methane leaking into drinking water is a disaster,'' she said. ''When will the old parties put the safety of communities and the environment ahead of mining giants?
''This sort of incident, likely created from links created between aquifers and coal seams when drilling CSG wells, is precisely why we need a moratorium on coal seam gas until we have a better understanding of its long term impact on our precious water resources and whether these impacts are in fact irreversible.''

PS - This is all (Knowingly) done on purpose to poison Aquifers whilst $$$Profiteering from this 'Abuse' all over the world...
Notice how the OWO Globalists only 'Frack' on someone elses land..! Not on the land they are purchasing (All Around The World) that have vast quantities of Water Aquifers &/or buying the land for its Water Rights..!

“Blue Gold”: T. Boone Pickens and the Privatization of Water
Imagine a future where water is more valuable than gold – where corporations have control over the public’s water sources, and everyone has to pay a premium for access. It’s a scary thought for most of us, but for T. Boone Pickens, it’s a dream he’s banking on.

PSS - I don't know how this effing 'MADNESS' is ever going to stop...
But be rest assured 'Mother Earth' won't tolerate it for much longer and believe it or not, neither will the Public..!
