Clarence Valley residents oppose CSG activities at Glenugie

Let's be clear, we have no problem with Metgasco as a company.

It's just unfortunate that they are in the wrong industry at the wrong time in the wrong place. In 2012 and beyond anyone investing in fossil fuel companies (coal, oil and gas) does so at their peril. People are waking up and the "carbon asset bubble" is beginning to burst worldwide.
