US - (June 14/13) Gas fracking will cause 'Irreversible' damage, says Conservation Council of Western Australia. “Recently I had an opportunity to visit shale gas fracking areas in the USA and I was horrified - I met sick families who could not move off their land. I saw gas bubbling out of natural groundwater springs that could be set alight. I was told stories of sick and dying livestock. I met regulators who were turning a blind eye and I saw the gas industry’s armed security guards preventing farmers access to their own land. After seeing this I vowed I would do whatever I could to stop this happening in Western Australia." http://bit.ly/178KacJ
