I hadn't seen this yet--- what a great find.
Gasland was a documentary released in the summer of 2010 that showed amazing footage of many, many, many people lighting their faucets' tap water on fire. Fox's take on the situation is that this was linked to the increased use of industrial hydro-fracturing practices in the natural gas industry.
It seems this video is a follow-up: the debate, the science, the lobbied cover-up since then.
Turns out the industry also occasionally and very-recently-in-Pennsylvania dumps chemicals and known carcinogens straight into the water. And then paints some gas rig pink to celebrate the fight against breast cancer...
All this right as New York gets hit by Sandy and threatened to get fracked to hell.
Thank you, Josh Fox.
