Video- Gasland (Fracking)

[Amanda]

Okay, I watched this a while ago, but what I still don't get is whether this is also about deliberately destroying/poisoning the water supply. I think I heard Rivero once question why they are using all of these toxic chemicals (chemical waste? free? like all the fluoride crap the put in the water supply is waste from aluminum processing?) instead of just using water (would they have to pay for water?).  I''m pretty sure Texe Marrs has either written a book or made a video about how part of agenda was to turn water into a scarce, precious resource. I kind of wondered how they would go about doing that. Seems like part of the plan is through privatization, but it also just seems like deliberately poisoning the water fits w/this somehow as well...

The true costs in health and environmental pollution of hydraulic fracturing are exposed in this amazing documentary by Josh Fox. Everyone needs to know this information.

Hydraulic fracturing is common world wide, not just in America, and massively pollutes our fresh water supplies (see my other video on: Water - The Basics of Use, Pollution, and Our Health at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMmpg35Bym0 ).

"The largest domestic natural gas drilling boom in history has swept across the United States. The Halliburton-developed drilling technology of "fracking" or hydraulic fracturing has unlocked a "Saudia Arabia of natural gas" just beneath us. But is fracking safe? When filmmaker Josh Fox is asked to lease his land for drilling, he embarks on a cross-country odyssey uncovering a trail of secrets, lies and contamination."

Natural gas extraction is regulated but with numerous exemptions such as such as: 42 USC 300h(d)(1)(B) [underground injection - exemption for fracturing fluid].

You can check out a US Senate report (released in April 2011) on the chemical contents of these frac'ing fluids at:
http://democrats.energycommerce.house.g ... ts/Hydra...

"An estimated 30% to 70% of the frac'ing fluid will resurface, bringing back with it toxic substances that are naturally present in underground oil and gas deposits, as well as the chemicals used in the frac'ing fluid." [Source: http://www.endocrinedisruption.com/chem ... uction.php ]
