I've seen clips of it. Josh Fox isn't the most reliable source of information.

The Examiner? LOL. Is one commentary by a right-wing pundit suppose to disprove the documentary?hobkyl wrote:I've seen clips of it. Josh Fox isn't the most reliable source of information.

The Examiner is just one of many sources that refute the claims made in the movie. I just picked the first thing that came up and linked it. There are many sources to include enviornmentalists who say that the "facts" portrayed in the movie are false and/or misleading.

Oh yea? Well please share. Pumping millions of gallons of water 8,000 feet into the ground combined with chemicals that are known carcinogens next to water supplies is plain stupid. Couple that with the fact that the pumps and evaporators are exempt from the Clean Air and Clean Water Act (thanks to the Halliburton loophole) and you have to be a moron to support fracking in any way shape or form.hobkyl wrote:The Examiner is just one of many sources that refute the claims made in the movie.

I'm with you Matt. Many of the towns around me are passing bans, but I fear that my own may not. There are a number of people out here who would be easily lured by the promise of big money. 
I've already told Mike that I'd move to Skaneateles if that happened--even though we'd only be able to afford a refrigerator box there.

Yea - that's what I'm scared of - people selling out for a quick buck, no thought to the future. Frankly I'm surprised it would even be a discussion on here. How could you love gorges, glens, and waterfalls and be FOR fracking?Brenda wrote:I'm with you Matt. Many of the towns around me are passing bans, but I fear that my own may not.
