Fracking - Geert de cocke

Editor's Notes

  1. Diverse situation Story of locals rejecting a massive industrial fossil fuel activity for decades. Industrialisation of the landscape by 100s of well, pipelines, compressor stations, flaring,… Supporting cleaner alternatives, renewables Story of locals against corporate influence over central authorities
  2. Focus on gas as a transition fuel delays ambitious action on a complete transition to a zero-carbon energy system. We need, the climate system needs a rapid decarbonisation Fossil gas escapes … methane is powerful GHG. Better for climate is problemartic. New resources of UFF are unburnable carbon. With existing resources of conventional gas
