Australian journalist Manning examines the environmental effects of coal seam gas projects exporting liquefied natural gas from Queensland to Japan, compares the greenhouse gas emissions of coal seam gas to coal technology, and questions decisions made by the Australian government at the federal and local levels. The biased essay even complains about too many large trucks on the highway and drug testing of the well-paid gas field workers. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
