In the hotel foyer, members of the Nova Scotia Fracking Resource and Action Coalition handed out pamphlets warning of earthquakes and dangers to groundwater and public health.
Inside the conference room, posters lined the walls telling of how Nova Scotia’s large untapped natural gas reserves could be used to help get us off coal, the economic benefits it has meant for Western Canadian provinces and how hydraulic fracturing technology, which would be needed to extract most of the shale bed methane, has improved over the past decade.
