[okfn-za] Open Data on CO2 Emissions

Wed Apr 24 14:46:15 UTC 2013

Thanks a lot Justin. Let's hope Gillian can pull a proverbial rabbit or two
out the hat! I agree with the EIAs and especially the non-compliance
aspects with conditions under which the go ahead is given. The 'fracking'
bit will need a lot of hard work to oppose if the grapevine stories are
true?

Gillian if you have any pointers to data on CO2 emissions, it will be most
appreciated.

Best,

Jakes
