Her ser vi et godt eksempel på såkalte miljøvernere, som ved å forvrenge sannheten kan innbille folk og politikere til å tro at fracking lokalt i Quebec er en trussel mot grunnvannet. Studien sa det motsatte men denne miljøvernsgruppen med religiøse tendenser, forsøker som vanlig å så tvil blant folk. Det er godt at noen tar til motmæle for å stoppe denne gjengen.

MONTREAL, Wednesday, January 23, 2019 - The Quebec Oil and Gas Association welcomes a recent decision of the Quebec Press Council, which confirms that a journalist from Quebec City was right to say that the Vigilance Hydrocarbons Quebec Regroupement has distorted the meaning a scientific report claiming that hydraulic fracturing does not pose a threat to groundwater.

In his "Verification Made" column, Sun journalist Jean-François Cliche wrote in 2017 that the opposition group cited the report out of context, and that part of the report even contradicted their interpretation.

"We are happy to see an authority like the Press Council confirm what we see as obvious, that is, the opposition groups want to hear only what they like without regard to the truth, to the point where they can deflect the meaning of a scientific report, "said APGQ spokesman Eric Tetrault. "The desire to go to the Press Council shows that they are ready for anything but a genuine democratic debate with industry."

The QPAT reminds us that two recent surveys have confirmed the clear preference of the Quebec population for local hydrocarbons, contrary to what opponents say. An IPSOS survey of June 2018 shows a 60% support for the production of natural gas in Quebec rather than import as is currently the case. A recently released Léger survey shows a clear preference for Canadian oil in Quebec rather than abroad.

"Opponents have derailed the debate for many years, to the point where social acceptability seems difficult to obtain from the point of view of government authorities. What we see with these polls is that the population does not share their point of view at all.

The industry is challenging opponents to a real debate about local production, a debate where scientific arguments must prevail. For example, the industry recalls that by opposing the production of clean natural gas in Quebec, environmental groups and citizen groups encourage Quebec to cause immense harm to the planet, because natural gas from the West and the United States causes 330% more GHG emissions.
