Dirty Fracking Business - a review.

Dirty Fracking Business is a must read book, especially if you don't know what CSG is and what is inherently wrong with it.  Author, Peter Ralph paints a very bleak picture for Australia's future in his book.  He foreshadows food shortages due to prime agricultural land being lost, water supplies in short supply and people's health put at risk due to the "Dirty Fracking Business" that is CSG. This is what awaits us if we don't become advocates for the environment, artisan water basins, fertile agricultural land and the way of life in rural communities.  The story he tells is not just of one town, it is a story that is taking place across numerous communities throughout Australia and the world.  The Coal Seam Gas Industry is in his line of sight.  The book will reinvigorate the already converted to stay the course.  It is though primarily directed at city folk to awaken them to the harsh reality of what CSG is doing to our country cousins and what is instore for them if they don't join the struggle.

If you want to know more about Coal Seam Gas, see Gasland or Bimblebox documentaries.  There are also numerous community groups that have been set up in order to save communities.  Lock the Gate in Australia is a National body, which Drew Hutton leads.  Drew Hutton provides the foreword to Peter Ralph's "Dirty Fracking Business".  The book is avaliable at all good book stores.
