GASLAND. Way Too Much Terrifying Information In 107 Minutes.
I saw it mentioned by someone (aurora?) in the forums earlier.. and yesterday I watched it. It was very difficult to fall asleep after seeing all that. All this really is happening and no one can stop it..

Watch it. It's a story of a guy who has been offered a 100 000$ deal to give a gascompany right to start flagging gas on his lands. However it turns out that the chemicals used for pressure fragging kill everything around them and his drinking water can be light up on fire.
It has became a huge problem in US and Gas companies keep insisting that the problem isn't caused by them.. though it's rather clear that those chemicals in the water are exactly what has been pumped in the ground during pressure fragging...

I saw the trailer for that not too long ago, including the flaming kitchen sink scene. I suppose I ought to watch it but I might need to buy some sleeping pills before I do...
 Is it available for viewing online anywhere?

  What really got me was the stream that had gas bubbles coming out and the 400-something ingredients in that liquid they use for fragging/fracking (sp?) of which some are kept secret for patenting reasons - or at least thats what they tried - maybe they had to disclose this now, I dont know. The burning tap water was horrible, too, but that is a bit like the polar bears and global warming - it is the thing that jumps you in the face and shocks you, but the thing behind it is larger. And from what I understood in the movie, this is going on all over the US. Oh and BTW - hydraulic fracturing is also used in dryrock geothermal power generation - I dont know if this has any similar effects when it comes to release of chemicals. PS.: If you want another night not sleeping, there are some more: YouTube - HOME (English with subtitles) Food, Inc.

YouTube - The End Of America - Naomi Wolf (1 of 8)
Another good one, too. Not necessarily environmental, but in general about the US' slow descent into a fascist state.

I know this doesn't really offer anything to the discussion, but I immediately cracked up when I saw the thread title, comparing it in my mind to someone passing gas, "GASLAND. Way Too Much Terrifying Information..."
So.... yeah.

SRSLY? They started doing that fracking way to get gas in Germany, too. Under a water reservoir. For drinking water. In which it is prohibited to swim to avoid pollution. They use chemicals of the highest water pollution category. They did not inform the local residents or community government. They did not inform the drinking water agency.
I am having a puls of 200 now, so I have to go, but this is so - unspeakable...
