@basesix
Thanks, I’ll have to take your word for it that he’s nice in the surf, but the assertion that no water tables have ever been contaminated anywhere, from fracking or drilling , because of the watchdog’s , is obviously BS , and can be disproven in 5 minutes.
Must be some sort of motive there.

Not pretty from the air. I don’t know about in underground aquifers. I would assume if it was being stuffed there wouldn’t be much coming to light to expose it.

Hello Juliang

I am sorry for sounding like a bull in a China shop .

Fracking has Contaminated some water tables , but not on a major scale , that I am aware of .

Please correct me .

U said destroyed and I asked U 4 ONE example .

Not 1 given .

The Industry must have drilled a Million holes , in the last 10-15 years .

U sounded a Scaremonger , 2 me .

If U think most Australians want 2 go backwards in lifestyle and get rid of Cars , Trains , Trucks and Planes , I disagree .

Have a good day .

@ Spykans quoted from the BBC
“The plans future .
Project 2025 is backed by a $ 22 million budget, and includes strategies for implementing policies, immediately after the Presidential inauguration in January 2025

The Heritage Foundation is also creating a Database of “ Conservative Loyalists “ to fill Government positions, and a programme to train those new workers!””

Thanks for the latest information on Project 2025 @ Spykan

@ Popdown
Contaminated, destroyed same thing, are you going to drink toxic water from a well contaminated by frackings poisonous run off. ? lol
I actually gave you 5 or 6 examples of contaminated water tables , which took me 5-10 minutes to compile
I try to keep them down to a few minutes, for us challenged by an old attention span .

Just because you didn’t read them, doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. Great logic there!

I was just reading about the Heritage Foundation as well Juliang and will check them out .

The Heritage Foundation just released a comprehensive report into the Origins of Covid .

They estimated the Chinese Bird Flu , cost the US $18 Trillion !

Said that the Chinese covered it all up and created a Virus that lead 2 a world wide catastrophe .

Destroyed and Contaminated are Miles apart imho Juliang , so unsurprising my logic sounded illogical .

I somehow assumed , there were degrees of contamination and was pissing in the Ocean , destroying things .

Thanks 4 setting me straight .

The Yarra River is destroyed , shit contaminants from Fracking humans everywhere ffs !

That's a disappointing start 2 the day :) .

Oh well , shit happens .

@ pop down
Well apart from anything, water tables are way smaller than any ocean,
And I’m no chemical engineer, but would assume that urine is less toxic than the heavy metal chemicals they use in fracking.

Hey Juliang

Sorry again , 4 being silly .

You are right and I agree they put toxic chemicals into the Fracking mixtures .

The Stuff is mixed with Water and other stuff and IS injected into Mother Earth .

Stuff does spill and stuff does get contaminated , it's the way of the Human World .

Humans are smart , they don't , normally , Shit in their Own backyard .

Even normal drilling 4 Oil and Gas deposits , uses heavy metal chemicals .

For Underground Shale or Coal seams , a different con concoction is used .

The Environmental Regulations are Huge .

The Drilling was tested and now has been happening for over a decade .

Protestors said Whole Water Tables , would B destroyed , none have .

Of course humans have spilled some stuff , yes , contaminated stuff .

We then , usually , clean up our back yard .

We are the Good Guys !

The Gas is all just sitting there , waiting 4 US .

Fracking the seams , tickles OUT the Gas and IS needed imho .

I seem 2B the Odd 1 out with Fracking .

Harris wanting 2 kill it , maybe IS an Election Winning Policy , I will give U that point , as well Juliang !

I will cool off with the fracking around Juliang :) and there are no scaredy cats , on SN .,

We need both gas and water to survive , I can't hold my breath , 4 that long .

We need 2 produce gas in Australia and with an increasing population and 2 close Coal , we need more .

Where CAN Australians look 4 Gas and or , Oil ?

Papua Petroleum ?

Or just buy it from Qatar ?

What does the US do ?

Go Nuclear harder ?

Do we need to go down that path ?

A wonderful , Kennedy like Slogan !

Big Processed Ag , Big Pharma , CDC , FDA , with Deep Sates help , sure have made the US an unhealthy place to live , recently .

The US is being fed shit atm , imagine the whole country going on a healthier diet .

Small Farm friendly , Deep State , Processed/ sugary food and Big Pharma , unfriendly .

I wonder if the idea will rate , 4 Americans ?

Being told by Trump , U need 2 go on a diet , might not B well received , by at least half the voters haha .

I used to live in a rural town in Tassy , and my wife and young kids used to walk around town on their own , because she didn’t have a driver’s license.
I got really paranoid after she Joined a strict religious group , and other occurrences , so we bailed before the lease was finished.
Found out recently that the head cop of the town ,at the time was the head of a paedophile ring in the town .
My paranoia was justified and I felt a lot safer arriving in a big city!

(but I also value not having to turn up to things that town rellies and friends do..
wishing them well from afar, they seem to like that, as a layer to their things)
did you watch bay of fires? became pretty forced for me, that watch,
like rain shadow, started with potential..
limited budgets, and tight production/writing schedules these days..

Yes rural towns are pretty cool usually , but my wife was Asian and I had mainland plates , which isn’t good anywhere in Tassy .
No , I did go to the Bay of Fires a lot but didn’t watch it.
Didn’t get a lot of good waves there, but beautiful remote area .

Yeah it would be good cruising from Portland to Robe , but I’m not complaining about having world class waves down the road, which can become less crowded at times depending on where you sit in the lineup and how much volume you use.
Also the warm water and weather, and uncrowded beach breaks when the banks are good .

No there’s a lot of rural areas I could have ended up , but my ex wife got a place in Brisbane, so I’m hanging around crowded cities, which is ok because of the proximity to a lot of good waves, from Noosa t o Byron.

I have lived in a lot of rural areas, so I don’t feel I’m missing out now, but do see they’re good side !

When my wife first came over from an unnamed Asian country ,you have to use your imagination there.
We moved from Snapper to Kingscliff to the York peninsula to Port Lincoln to Ballina to Lennox to Maroochydore to Warnambool to snapper and to Tassy every 6 months when the leases finished, so I don’t feel like I’ve missed out on much, living in a tourist city at the moment.

Makes me appreciate living adjacent to the dunes in a couple of places when I was growing up.
Especially for the earlies before school.
Quick stroll to check the surf, wipe the sleep out of your eyes, a quick piss and a look around, ahh too easy.
Bolt back, grab the board, surf, bolt back, quick bowl of cereal and on the school bus.
I felt for my mates who had to ride.
