  Paul, I'm well aware that the process has nothing whatsoever to do with fracking which I'm all in favour of providing any company carrying out the work can do so safely and the area chosen has little or no impact on day to day life - which is the case in the USA where there have been no real problems despite claims by those vehemently opposed consisting largely of climate change believers who try to put the fear of God into those who know nothing about how it's done and it's effects.
  What is needed is a sensible and honest debate by all sides detailing the impact on the area, why those sites were chosen as opposed to drilling away from the villages and what happens if the exploration is successful in terms of the distribution of the final product ie. methane gas.
  These questions were put forward at the meeting in Guston but were not answered which is probably why the vote at the end was against the idea. Had ample time been given for residents to prepare and research the issue and had the company sent someone who knew all these vital details we might have seen a different outcome - maybe not who knows?
  Using youtube brought me this link which is cringworthy in every aspect of it's production values but does give an idea of what's involved. One aspect which has the potential to cause real problems is shown just after the two minute mark on the video in terms of the processing and delivery of the gas.
