\nFracking, coming to north Georgia soon.\n<\/p>\n

\n\n\"Conasauga<\/a>\nDALTON, Ga. \u2014 Trillions of cubic feet of natural gas believed\nto lie below the hills of northwest Georgia have remained virtually\nuntouched and unwanted \u2014 until now.\n<\/p>\n

\nShale gas drilling is slowing across the country, but a handful of\ncompanies are poking around this corner of the state looking for the\nnext natural gas “play.” If they succeed, Georgia could join the\nranks of states reaping jobs, revenue and fears of environmental\ndamage from energy production, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has\nlearned….\n<\/p>\n

\nIn Alabama, the Conasauga shale field contains 625 trillion cubic\nfeet of gas, according to Bill Thomas, a geologist who taught at the\nUniversity of Kentucky and Georgia State. A similar amount could be\nunderground in Northwest Georgia, he added.\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n\n<\/a>\nWish I didn’t have to say I told you so:\n\nFracking: coming soon to a state near you?<\/a> 26 Dec 2012.\n<\/p>\n

\nNo fracking.\nNo nuclear.\nNo biomass.\nLet’s get on with solar and wind.\n<\/p>\n
