'Phony' Claims In Coal Seam Gas Ads

An ad campaign touting the benefits of coal seam gas drilling has been launched - and provoked a formal complaint about false environmental claims, reports Shannon Andreucci
Activist group Lock The Gate has lodged a formal complaint against the advertising campaign "We want CSG" for making false environmental claims about coal seam gas mining.

As well as touting the economic benefits of coal seam gas, the ads claim CSG is cleaner than other energy sources and that fracking, in which rocks are cracked to release gas, has been found to be a safe technology.
