Hughes busts frackers

Oh dear oh dear!
Gareth Hughes has revealed significant contamination issues in Taranaki as a result of fracking on tonight's TV3 news. Seems the industry is not anywhere near as clean as it's been claiming. 300 cubic meters of contaminated soil from Taranaki, trucked to Wellington for 'safe disposal' - how very embarrassing. Seems like they're fracked now - even the Government has changed the wording of it's support for the practice - no longer confident that it's safe.
Am I surprised?
Not at all.
Am I disappointed in what I was told by the industry leaders when they visited the Council earlier this year?
Yes.
But not surprised.
I'll link to the news item when it comes up.

"3 News can reveal hundreds, potentially thousands of cubic metres of soil have been contaminated by toxic chemicals at a gas field in Taranaki."
