| 1323210 | 2013-01-17 20:47:00 | Gary67 Why don't you go an live out in the wop wops with no petrol or cars for a year and see if you like it. Your suggestion is a bit far fetched. Who lives next to a fracking station anyway? I don't even know if there is such a thing as a fracking station. Oil wells are not usually in the middle of towns or cities. |

| 1323215 | 2013-01-18 00:37:00 | Digby, I live in the wops, so far in the wops that you would be lucky to cope. I try hard to use my vehicle as little as possible. Do you? I realise we rely on fossil fuels at present, but this is going to have to change if we are to have a future on this planet, anything we can do to reduce carbon emissions is a benefit to us all. Ridiculing those who are making these efforts is like attacking ambulance officers who are trying to get your granny to hospital. Your descendants may curse your memory for this, is that what you desire? |

| 1323217 | 2013-01-18 01:09:00 | Yes I try to conserve where I can. And I do think the world population is getting too high in Asia and Africa. But I think we need many more people here in NZ But I am not part of the raving green lunatic fringe. And I'm not going to ride a bike or walk everywhere or live in the country just to keep you happy. |

| 1323218 | 2013-01-18 07:58:00 | So why do you want to force fracking on us then if your not prepared to help out? I'm no greeny either but I don't have my head in the sand like an ostrich thinking that if I do nothing it will all go away |

| 1323219 | 2013-01-18 19:20:00 | It is always a good idea to read up on the pros and cons regarding any controversial subject and make up your own mind about it including suspending believe until you have sufficient information. Far to often it all gets to be like a lot like Northern Ireland where fact has nothing to do with which side of the fence you sit and nothing is going to change your mind. Currently I have no problem with fracking it is actualy far more envionmentaly friendly than coal mining. I am quite prepared to change my mind given believable evidence but not based on myth and rumour and certainly not just because anyone just says I should. |
