This week energy company AGL released a research paper entitled Solving for ‘x’ – the New South Wales Gas Supply Cliff. The paper contains plenty of economic terms and algebra, but these merely serve to provide camouflage for another reiteration of the gas industry’s claims – that NSW is running low on gas and the only way around this is the development of coal seam gas (CSG) projects, such as AGL’s project in Gloucester. 

The Australia Institute’s research has shown these claims are untrue and self serving.
