Drew Hutton, the King of the Greens in Queensland, has been arrested for trying to save farmland from Big Gas.
But it was the same Grandstanding Greens who started the gas boom with their baseless war on coal.
Then the Goofy Greens fed the gas boom with ceaseless puffery on wind and solar power. These toy generators need gas power to keep the lights on when the sun sets and the wind wanes.
Then the Green Taxaholics promoted a carbon dioxide tax on hot air. This would force more industry from coal to gas.
And now the Green Ghouls hope to dance on the grave of nuclear power. If they succeed they will cause a world-wide mother of all gas booms.
The Green Gas boom will create thousands of drill holes and many pipelines across Queensland farms.
Farmers should hope the Green King goes to jail where he can do less harm.
Viv Forbes, Chairman, The Carbon Sense Coalition, has spent his life working in exploration, mining, farming, infrastructure, financial analysis and political commentary. He has worked for government departments, private companies and now works as a private contractor and farmer.
Viv has also been a guest writer for the Asian Wall Street Journal, Business Queensland and mining newspapers. He was awarded the “Australian Adam Smith Award for Services to the Free Society” in 1988, and has written widely on political, technical and economic subjects.
