Gasland Part II emphasises the dangers of fracking


The man behind "Gasland",
 Josh Fox.
Australians are being introduced to “fracking” and told by its advocates that it is the solution to the nation’s energy troubles.

The natural gas industry paints a wonderful and shiny picture of its process of hydraulic fracturing of rocks to access the natural gas locked within, but says nothing about the almost certain pollution of aquifers that sustain the lives of many.

“Gasland” first alerted many to the associated dangers of fracking and now the director and fellow behind that original movie, Josh Fox, has continued his investigations now releasing “Gasland Part II”.
In the Mother Jones story – “Gasland Part II”: The Fracking Empire Strikes Back, Fox talks about his new movie and comments on President Obama’s approach to dealing with climate change.

  1. It is simple to understand that if a process is contaminating our major natural resource water the we must ban this process. Do not you think so?
