One last thing I wanted to mention, is that as these months go along and we're seeing a lot of cooperation between industry and government and the people, we should be seeing a lot more support voiced by people. Example is St Ed farmers, 30% to 90% after 3 months of talks. I never thought about it but it's important not to underestimate a growing support. This is where, as Tectol said, working closely with the locals communities and allowing them to make decisions on development will be huge.

Let's face it, a lot of these environmentalists live cozy in the large cities, using natural gas and driving cards. That aside, once we start to rally support and encouragment from the people actually having wells on their land, will be a huge turning point. I think at that point the environmentalists (note: they will never stop complaining) will have little to rant about or would look pretty pathetic when farmers and the local people are happy with the industry and the way they are going about things, yet they are still complaining.

QEC was able to rally this before, and I expect them to do the same as we go on. It will be important to our cause and development.
