GasLand "Documentary" about contaminated water from fracking

Thanks, been looking for that...

No problem. I found it in "Chicks with guns". You really should keep better track of it.

Sorry guys, IMDB, who I've worked with for the last 10 years and have known for thirty, knows where of he speaks. So take your time telling him he's full of it. Just makes you look like idiots. We do gas. We know how this **** works.

Working in a field that has a vested interest in proclaiming something is safe, does not make one's opinion any more valid than another's. I am not saying you are wrong, however I do feel you should provide some sound support of your position on the topic. Credentials alone do not prove the matter right or wrong.

Is it the methane or chemicals used in the process that enables the water to be ignited?

Since I've worked on both sides of this industry, I won't attempt to validate my credentials. Suffice it to say, this discussion appears not to be changing anyone's mind.

However, folks who believe this movie is any kind of factual "documentary" need to understand fundamental scientific and engineering principles and not be deluded by some creative video editing. Do yourself a favor and do some serious research on the subject...and I don't mean reading "news" articles or looking it up on the internet.

I have no "vested" interest.

Your right we should just keep using coal and oil instead, for the environment

Congrats on the beautiful false dichotomy.

I saw the movie GASNATION and thought burning water was due to fracking. It is total BS and has been happening for hundreds of years.

A new movie FRACKNATION debunks all of the claims made.

It turns out GASNATION is another Inconvenient Lie...
