Aussie Politician Tries To Prove Point By Setting River Ablaze
An Australian politician set fire to a section of Queensland’s Condamine River to demonstrate what he says is a clear impact of the coal seam gas industry and fracking operations nearby.
Hydraulic fracturing, also known as “fracking”, is the process of drilling and injecting fluid into the ground at a high pressure. This is done to break shale rocks to release natural gas inside.
