I saw this last night. I can't remeber ever actually feeling sick to
my stomach while watching anything on the TV. Well I have now. I know
everyone has been so focused on the BP oil spill but this I think this
is the best time to get the word out on this. I would be embarrased if
I was the US govt. This is beyond stupidity and negligence.
Thank you for the eye opener.

It is happening all across America and now in Europe and Africa as
well - rural landowners wake up one day to find a lucrative offer from
a multinational energy conglomerate wanting to lease their property.
The Reason? In America, the company hopes to tap into a huge natural
gas reservoir dubbed the Saudi Arabia of natural gas. Halliburton
developed a way to get the gas out of the ground—a hydraulic drilling
process called fracking—and suddenly America finds itself on the
precipice of becoming an energy superpower.
But what comes out of the ground with that natural gas? How does it
affect our air and drinking water? GASLAND is a powerful personal
documentary that confronts these questions with spirit, strength, and
a sense of humor. When filmmaker Josh Fox receives his cash offer in
the mail, he travels across 32 states to meet other rural residents on
the front lines of fracking. He discovers toxic streams, ruined
aquifers, dying livestock, brutal illnesses, and kitchen sinks that
burst into flame. He learns that all water is connected and perhaps
some things are more valuable than money.
Will the boom in natural gas drilling contaminate America's water
supply?
