Gas is a polluting fossil fuel that threatens our health, environment and our climate. Gas is just as bad as coal.
Even the conservative International Energy Agency says that to meet global climate targets there can be no more coal and gas approvals. Yet in one of its first acts after winning power, the federal Labor Government approved Woodside’s massive North West Gas Shelf project out to 2070.
Meanwhile, in NSW, Santos is on the final stretch for its Narrabri Gas project. With 850 coal seam gas wells to be built in the beautiful Pilliga forest combined with the massive pipelines it will destroy Gomeroi Country, farmland, threatened species habitat and poses unacceptable risks to our water supply, including the Great Artesian Basin.
Thing is, we don’t need new gas. By supporting households and businesses to transition to clean, renewable energy we can kiss toxic gas goodbye. We need governments to stand up to the gas industry.
