    #TraditionalOwners in Katherine and #Ngukurr regions threaten legal action over #GasExploration deal

    TRADITIONAL owners in the Katherine and Ngukurr regions are threatening legal action to halt a historic and much-heralded gas exploration deal involving #GinaRinehart’s #mining companies

    "TRADITIONAL owners in the #KatherineNT and Ngukurr regions are threatening legal action to halt a historic and much-heralded gas exploration deal involving Gina Rinehart’s mining companies.

    "The NT News can reveal traditional owners from the #Alawa, #Kelweyi and #Mangarrayi land trusts will today use a scheduled #NorthernLandCouncil meeting to demand a review of the agreement and accuse the #NLC of failing to properly consult.

    "NLC chief executive #JoeMorrison rejected the accusation as the work of #environmentalists fostering a 'rising tide of confusion' among traditional owners.

    "The exploration deal for Hancock Prospecting’s #JacarandaMinerals and #MineralsAustralia over more than 6500sq km of #Aboriginal-owned land in the #McArthurBasin was announced in March last year as the first gas exploration permit on NLC-managed Aboriginal land.

    "It was promoted by the NT Government as a win for jobs and the economy, and as a breakthrough in co-operation between traditional owners, mining companies, government and the NLC. But traditional owners soon after began calls for a review of the consultation and demanded copies of the deal they signed.

    "'We are in agreement that the process and risks of onshore #ShaleGas #fracking and the scope of work plan was not explained to us. We believe there has been a failure to undertake proper consultation,' read the most recent of several letters signed by traditional owners and sent to the NLC and Chief Minister Adam Giles since April last year.

    "Northern Territory #FrackFreeAlliance spokeswoman Lauren Mellor said traditional owners and members of the land trusts were refused copies of the agreement."

  6. Here is a question from 2013 that IMHO has just been frozen and ignored so far, NOT really answered in any way:

    Can the Utility Industry Survive the Energy Transition? resilience.org/stories/2013-04 #distributedEnergy #energyManagement #peakCarbon #shaleGas

  7. Trying this again with the right tags this time!!! Newbie problems...

    Here is the first page of The Erenwine Agenda, my first published ecofiction novel, sharing for #FlashFicFriday

    Amalia Sengupta Erenwine stood in the middle of the gravel lot in Binghamton’s Aqua-Terra County Park, and eyed the mud puddles ahead on the trail. Lace-ups were a good start, but she needed something more heavy-duty on her feet. Betsy stood on the far side of the clearing, head bowed over a printed set of Polson Grohman’s architectural drawings, in a quiet huddle with the environmental center partners and the gas executives from Atlantia Actuaris.

    With Betsy across the clearing and a moment to herself, Amalia could breathe it all in and enjoy it for what it was: a spectacular natural environment. The park gave her a boost of energy; just to be in it was enough. She put the camera in her bag opposite her packed lunch, rested the bag on a tipped-up stone slab at the trailhead, and glanced ahead to see dark clouds gather on the horizon beyond the fall colors of upstate New York.

    Trying to let go of her inner conflict with the gas company’s investment had drawn it closer, and she found herself facing the reality that her internship in architecture was underwritten by the natural gas industry. Fracking supported her growth as an architect. Her environmentalism turned so awry, so quickly, on her move to New York City.
