THE head of one of the most active groups opposing coal seam gas has been accused of falsifying claims by US researchers in submissions to official inquirenies.
In submissions to the NSW parliamentary inquiry into coal seam gas, which has its first public hearing today in northern NSW, and to a federal government inquiry, Drew Hutton of the Lock the Gate alliance has taken verbatim three references to shale gas in US research documents and substituted the words ''coal seam methane'' each time.
Shale gas exploration has been criticised as having a greater environmental impact than coal seam gas exploration.
