potential for water contamination caused by spills, leaks, chemicals and accidents
potential for well integrity failure due to finite lifespan of cement and steel
potential for air pollution detrimental to health of natural environment, humans and
animals
potential for industrialisation of landscape and loss of "clean and green" image
unsustainable competition with existing industries such as agriculture, horticulture,
viticulture and tourism which will have a detrimental impact on local economy
