CSG fight in the Hunter Valley

The Hunter Valley Protection Alliance says coal seam gas will be the death of the famous NSW wine region. The group unveiled two ads today in response to the Australian Petroleum Production and Exploration Association’s “We want coal seam gas” campaign. HVPA chairman Stewart Ewen said CGS mining could cause damage to underground water aquifers, generate saline mining waste, destroy natural landscapes and kill off the Hunter Valley’s wine and tourism industry, reports Weekly Times Now.
