the new f-word: south africa fights fracking

If Shell's Karoo fracking application succeeds, it won't be because of public apathy. Not only are "names" like Johann Rupert, Lewis Pugh and David Kramer strongly opposing the application, but the Treasure the Karoo Action Group (TKAG) has submitted a formidable objection document. Headed "A Critical Review of the Application for a Karoo Gas Exploration Right by Shell Exploration Company B V", the 104-page document was prepared by energy lawyer Dr Luke Havemann, UCT law lecturer Prof Jan Glazewski, and environmental consultant Susan Brownlie. The writers say they have received specialist input from a host of academics on topics that include groundwater, water resources, energy policy, public health, palaeontology, heritage, archaeology, astronomy, biodiversity, and even ornithology.
