What the Frack is Going On?
I recently saw a 2008 documentary film,"Gasland." It was a real eye-opener about how the Gas Industry is polluting our underground water sources. In their pursuit of "cheap" natural gas reserves they are literally devastating the underground ecosystem that supports fragile aquifers and pristine wells that supply drinking water for American citizens. Since no one can actually "see" underground, the Drilling Offensive is taking place right under our noses, and in our faucets, so tainted that one can light a match to watch water burn! Gas companies claim no responsibility or privately set up huge water cisterns to the places they disturb, delivering thousands of gallons of drinking water to towns, whose wells have been putrefied with contaminants. In other areas they coerce citizens to "lease their land, or lose it" to Eminent Domain. With much disgust and dismay, the Gas Industry has polluted again and again...
