@Dawn.. show us your evidence that fracking as practiced in NZ would ever have the scary results that you believe would happen... That's right- you have no evidence just some stuff dragged in from dubious sources from overseas items from many years ago. Live moves on and sometimes people get better at things and learn from others' mistakes.

What has the above article got to do with solely Greens? Many of those who marched were not Greens. But if you want cancer, miscarriage and numerous health complaints , you go live in a fracking community and see how you like it. Just remember after a number of years you will not be able to drink the water, grow vegies or even live in such an area!

The Greens are just plain anti progress - full stop. If they want to live in caves - fine - let the rest of use get on live our lives. Never trust a Greenie - behind their 'front' they are a bunch of loony tune terrorists that lie, spread false information and attenpt to manipulate societies according to their failed socialist green doctrines.

I wonder why the Greens are so concerned about evidence. In many instances their own protests rely on emotion and have scant regard for facts. Here is another example. In the same breath that they call for a moratorium on underground coal gasification at a protest against fracking. UCG does not involve fracking. And if the greens cared to examine the considerable evidence regarding this technology which has been in use for 80 years they would find the it is relatively benign. But why let the facts get in the way of Dogma.
