Documentary Shows Water That Burns, Toxic Effects Of Natural Gas Drilling (VIDEO)
MILANVILLE, Pa. (AP)-- What do you do when a gas company offers nearly $100,000 for the right to drill on your land?
If you're Josh Fox, you refuse the money - then make an award-winning documentary portraying the natural gas industry as an environmental menace that ruins water, air and lives.
In "Gasland," premiering Monday at 9 p.m. EDT on HBO, Fox presents a frightening scenario in which tens of thousands of drilling rigs take over the landscape, gas companies exploit legal loopholes to inject toxins into the ground and residents living nearby contract severe, unexplained illnesses.
This isn't some dystopian nightmare, Fox says, but the harsh reality in communities from Texas to Colorado to Pennsylvania. "People are feeling completely upended," the 37-year-old filmmaker said in an interview at his woodland home near the Pennsylvania-New York border, where gas companies have been leasing thousands of acres of pristine watershed land in anticipation of a drilling boom.
Will the boom in natural gas drilling contaminate America's water supply?

Dick(head) Cheney spent His entire tenure ad VP making sure of the "loopholes" to allow fracking. Why do You suppose this is so? Just money? Or is He more sinister than that?

@Hugh, that is really tragic. I love the Gulf coast too but I know it will never be the same again.

'Gasland' Journalists Arrested At Hearing By Order Of House Republi...
In a stunning break with First Amendment policy, House Republicans directed Capitol Hill police to detain a highly regarded documentary crew that was attempting to film a Wednesday hearing on a controversial natural gas procurement practice. Initial reports from sources suggested that an ABC News camera was also prevented from taping the hearing; ABC has since denied that they sent a crew to the hearing.

There is only so much oil in the ground. Soon or later there will not be much around.

I agree with Lou. When I first saw Gasland last year on HBO, the first thing that came to mind was that Halliburton is doing to land what BP did to water in the Gulf. How long will it take for the environmental damage to be corrected? Thousands of years...millions of years?
There was a spillin Pennsylvania on the anniversary of the Gulf oil spill. Conicidence?
