Like fishing for trout in PA? Value clean drinking water? Watch the documentary “Gasland” on HBO on June 21st at 9PM. Gasland tells the story of the natural-gas drilling operations taking place across the United States (& the world) right now and the potential perils that accompany them.
With the Marcellus Shale region which incorporates large swatches of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and New York, now being dubbed the “Saudi Arabia of Natural Gas,” this is more than topical. Think I’m joking…there was a recent mishap just last week in Clearfield County, PA (article here).
I’m certain you’ll also start to see & hear many cries to shut down off-shore drilling and to find cleaner, alternative energy solutions. Just today, I read T. Boone Pickens & the Pickens Plan cite natural gas drilling as one of these better, cleaner alternatives. After reading & viewing the above, I’m not so sure that’s the case…
Pshhh, clean drinking water is overrated…Seriously tho, looks very interesting, I work for the cable company so I'll have to mention it to customers who call up adding Sportsman or Outdoor channel. Looks like a potentially serious threat. Thanks for the heads up.
