Learn About Hydraulic Fracturing In Virginia / See "GasLand" Director: Josh Fox

[mtnprivy]

PLEASE DON'T take my word for anything. Don't take Vampgirl's word, or anyone else's. Get out there and study it for yourself, and search many sources. Look up even a few of the many groups working on "hydraulic fracturing" issues, and see what they say. Talk to your state regulators and see what they say. See if it is complete and believable info. Open your eyes and see what is there.

[solution833]

Ignorance is not bliss....let me tell you I'm from Australia and we watched Gasland in absolute Horror. Our QLD Premier Anna Bligh has sold out large tracts of beautiful farming land for THE FRACKING NIGHTMARE. She is a Mother Second and a New World Order Lizard first !!!!!

[vampgirl69101]

I see you commented here as well...if it sets your mind at ease, I want you to read the things that I have said to FRACKILLS...they will help put your mind at ease when it comes to fracing...and just to let everyone know, it it spelled FRAC not FRACK...

[jtsaad]

I love my car, asphault, hot water, heated home, synthetic materials, food transported to a store near me and i love frac

[FrederickKatan]

this movie is awesome..going to watch this in webmovietube

[CharlineWeisberg]

i have found a website webmovietube to watch movies for free..njoy

[Gr33nd0g]

Hey Isabella, good luck to fix everything we ruined on this planet.

[FRACKILLS]

@Gr33nd0g ditto on that comment.

[josieradomski81]

Probably better than the movie is gonna be! check this in webmovietube

[jarvyroth]

fracin caused cross-eyed babies?

[FRACKILLS]

@jarvyroth LOL! I am encouraged that you saw through the hidden message of the video and got the REAL scoop. LOL! While some are helping cleft lip babies, I am with cross-eye baby awareness group. Let's hope we can abolish both.

[aspectinc]

Well, well, well ... It seems to me that the people who are affected want no responsibility for their actions but expect other to be responsible for their own... Does this seem wrong to anyone else? The oil company's responsibility is to the share holders not to the people... That lies within the allocate officials of your state... And you as the people voted them there. Last time I checked the united stated was still a democracy right? It's too easy to point fingures at others but not ourselves

[FRACKILLS]

@aspectinc ignorance is bliss. My neighbors who signed for a whopping $10 an acre which the land man said was the going price, (deception at it's best) and NONE of them had a lawyer & bought into the idea that it was the patriotic American thing to do help the nation reach energy independence. Hmmm! Now the company wants to sell the Appalachian Marcellus shale to a Chinese company(???) Energy Independence, Yeah right, while 50% of gas is sold to the world market, yep that is energy independence!

[ThaGodWeCreate]

hahaha its funny tha people who say..if you live in those states..just move. STUPID... it contaminates WATER...now i dunno if you know how WATER works but it always flows from greatest to lowest density in currents...meaning it doesn't matter where you go...when you fuck with nature...EVERYONE PAYS EVENTUALLY

[metalcraze]

it's a shame american citizens are powerless over the government system.....

[slinq]

wow dude you didnt teach me anything but to watch someone elses documentary im not trying to be mean but if you live in one of those states move and if you signed a contract alowing them to hydro frack your land its your own fault gasland dosnt try to point that out but dose a great good pointing that out that its a home owner or land owners choice to let them frak seems to me like this is a pitty me story like the ones they play on the discovery channle about starving africans

[FRACKILLS]

The great thing about opposing views is that it allows room for IGNORANCE!

[aspectinc]

@FRACKILLS ignorance is right. Actually ironic is the word better suited to the documentry Gasland. All of the people affected by fracing claim that the greed of the oil company and the all mighty dollar put them in harms way but everyone of them signed a lease agrement for the cash. Some even acce[ted more money to keep their mouths shut. You don't let your kids play on a busy street ... but for a little bit of cash you would let someone drill in your front yard then play the victim.

[TheHSFT]

@aspectinc desperate people tend to do desperate things. how do you know for sure there was full disclosure of all the toxic chemicals, before people signed any papers? Do you know how many farmers in upstate NY have been committing suicide because they can't pay their bills? Nobody is claimimng to be a victim, but the full accountability needs to reside with these companies pouring god-knows-what into the earth? How can you even try to defend their actions or put the blame on those affected????

[FRACKILLS]

@TheHSFT the locals around here are now coming to terms with this issue by learning about it. Some of them are upset because there was NO full disclosure. They are talking law suit. Unfortunatetly against the DREAM team of Lawyers the industry has they dont stand a chance. So we are doing the next best thing. BASE LINE TESTING of every water well. To have proof of the Before and After to the fracking.

[vampgirl69101]

@FRACKILLS That is excellent, and when you realize that fracing doen't harm your way of life and that there is NO proof (actually can be scientifically proven false in so many ways) in the movie Gasland, then you will be able to sleep better at night knowing you are all ok...Put it this way, I am from the Kilgore, Tx area, the epicenter of fracing, was born and raised there and lived there up until about 3 months ago...have NEVER heard anything of well contamination, pollution or...continued

[vampgirl69101]

@FRACKILLS ...experienced an earthquake in my entire life...NONE of this was ever even heard of until frac industry entered the New England states...Here are your facts other than what I have already told you...60+ years of "shale fracing" (just to clarify, because this movie and other people seem to impose the idea that shale fracing is new which it is not even close, the Barnett Shale in Texas has been fraced for over 60 years) in the state of Texas and during that whole time

[vampgirl69101]

@FRACKILLS ...only 3 environmentally based lawsuits have been filed against frac companies, two were individuals and one was a couple...NONE included their neighbors, which was highly strange because if my well water or air (as one claimed) were contaminated wouldn't their's be also?...sure would...*eyebrow raise*...Natural gas, methane and diesel in their water well?...diesel does not exist naturally underground nor is it used as a chemical in fracing so how did it get in the well?..

[vampgirl69101]

@FRACKILLS Natural gas (naturally) and methane do not have a smell...the "rotten egg" smell, not "diesel smell" is added AFTER it is extracted from underground so that it can be detected in leaks in your home...Methane occurs in well water naturally due to not treating it like city water would be treated for microbes, it is a natural gas that is given off by the microbes...If fracing fluids are polluting the water by someone finding "one choice" chemical that is used in fracing fluids in it

[vampgirl69101]

@FRACKILLS ...wouldn't ALL of those chemicals be found in the water?...that is just common sense there...THAT brings up my next point, if fracing chemicals have never been disclosed to anyone outside the "fracing circle", then how would they know what chemicals are in it to even know if the water was contaminated by it?...hmmm...right...Truth is, yes, the industry has released to the federal government, state governments and EPA the fracing compounds...that is a lie that can be figured out just

[mtnprivy]

@vampgirl69101 NO, they wouldn't ALL be found in the water. Each chemical has it's own density, it's own affinities with other elements nearby. Each chemical will move differently from other chemicals. The reason we know chemicals likely in the frack fluid is Theo Colborn of the TEDX who wrote "Our Stolen Future.". The Industry has released "some" of the chemicals we already know, and hidden many others. This ain't Texas (cancer alley), this is the wet East coast. Chk Texas cancer rate!

[vampgirl69101]

@mtnprivy For your information, incidence rates for diagnosis/population per state are greater in the following states than Texas: Delaware, Kentucky, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New York, Louisiana, Illinois, Alabama, West Virginia, Minnesota, Iowa, North Carolina, Tennessee, Alaska, Oklahoma, Kansas, Oregon, Washington, Georgia, Michigan, Ohio, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Maryland, North Dakota, Vermont, Missouri, DC,...

[vampgirl69101]

@mtnprivy ...Indiana, Idaho, Nevada, Virginia, Florida, Hawaii, Wyoming, Arkansas, Montana, California, South Carolina, South Dakota, Colorado, THEN TEXAS...that is in order of greatest percent to least percent...the only states who have better cancer rates/ population are: New Mexico, Utah and Arizona...Kind of ironic that a lot of the states who are saying NO TO FRACKING and not letting it happen to begin with are at the top of the list...

[vampgirl69101]

@mtnprivy That's what happens when you tell someone to check it for themselves...

[vampgirl69101]

@mtnprivy by the way, the WET East Texas where I'm from is MORE wet then the WET East Coast...

[vampgirl69101]

@mtnprivy And no, the reason why you know ANY of the chemicals used is because they gladly (except a select few who were afraid to release trade secrets) released it to the federal government when asked...bravo to you for just assuming things...not because "Our Stolen Future" stated them...you apparently DIDN'T read the book...it is about how endocrine disrupting chemicals in the environment affect the reproductive system and can cause DIFFERENT reactions other than cancer...get your facts right

[vampgirl69101]

@mtnprivy endocrine disrupting chemicals that came from a completely different source I might add...

[mtnprivy]

I invite those who read these comments to decide for themselves after doing their own research on cancer clusters. To look at cancer in the WHOLE state is twisting the concept of "cancer alley" since the whole state is not industrialized. There are maps that indicate clusters of cancer in DFW area, and the Baton Rouge/New Orleans corridor, as well as other areas. LOOK IT UP.

Someone in your family works for Gas/oil industry or you could not parrot "Energy In Depth" so well !

[vampgirl69101]

@FRACKILLS ...by watching the movie alone, not even considering science and knowledge of the industry...now if it is released to the general public the ingredients then people will burn up Google trying to find out about each one and over exaggerate and freak out...they would also if they realized what was actually in their facial cleanser, lotions, perfumes, make up and clothes detergent...and you use them every day (not to mention put them in your water)...people would still freak out despite

[vampgirl69101]

@FRACKILLS ...the fact that chemicals used everyday by us in even larger quantities then are used in fracing are more harmful to us than those used in fracing...unfortunately, that is the truth...facial cleansers contain a chemical that if inhaled or taken in through the skin in any more quantity than is advised by the manufacturer of the cleanser can kill you instantly...all I can say is follow the directions carefully...such things are even in your baby's baby bath, shampoo and lotion as well

[vampgirl69101]

@FRACKILLS ...there are rumors going around that fracing causes earthquakes...this has been debunked a long time ago...just to give you an example, Texas is one of the largest providers of petroleum and natural gas, it is also on a major fault line...According to the University of Texas in Austin (who have made even more detailed investigation of this than even the USGS have), their studies have shown that absolutely NO earthquakes in the state of Texas have centered around any frac pumping site

[vampgirl69101]

@FRACKILLS ...there are sites call Saltwater Disposals (SWD for short) where the frac chemicals are placed back into the earth for disposal (not in open air tanks as described in the movie) that they though (forgot to add that SMU was also a major contributor to the investigation) may be the cause, that was until they realized that only one SWD in the whole state (which is located near DFW) even seems to have a collection of earthquakes revolving around it...one out of how many?...more than 200?

[vampgirl69101]

@FRACKILLS I quote "More than 12,000 wells have been completed in the Barnett

Shale of the Fort Worth Basin in the past decade (Figure

9), and all received hydraulic fracture treatments. More than

200 saltwater disposal wells are active in the area of Barnett

production. If the DFW earthquakes were caused by saltwater

injection or other activities associated with producing gas, it is

puzzling why there are only one or two areas of felt seismicity." from

[vampgirl69101]

@FRACKILLS "Dallas-Fort Worth earthquakes coincident with activity associated

with natural gas production" by CLIFF FROHLICH and ERIC POTTER, University of Texas at Austin and CHRIS HAYWARD and BRIAN STUMP, Southern Methodist University (sorry couldn't fit it all on one)...I hope these FACTS help you sleep better at night...your little girl seems like a real sweetie, adorable and deserves the best despite movies like Gasland and ignorance that they make stressing mommy and daddy out...

[vampgirl69101]

@FRACKILLS ...I actually recommend Googling the findings and reading the full disposition yourself...

[onechordshortofasong]

@aspectinc Im in arizona , i dont receive money from Fracking....Im concerned about it, Im pissed about it. Its not just land owners. Now how do I know if im drinking this shit? I just love people who cant think outside the box.

[MyAwb]

Really?!! As simple minded as Isabella.

[slinq]

@MyAwb home owners and land owners have to sign a contract alowing them to frak there land im sad for everyone that has signed there contracts but if you have then isnt it your fault?

and i hope he hant for his or her daughters sake but if he has dont use that as a guise for help move out of that state if your that sad there are 14 states with little to no natural gass vegas were i live is one :)

[FRACKILLS]

@slinq There is FORCE POOLING: In Virginia you DON'T HAVE TO sign a lease, they "CAN" just take your land as long as it's inside the 112 acres they need for the well. Like eminent domain except they're usurping the ground underneath. The fair market value according to a website, for gas is between $30K to $56K an acres. My neighbors signed for $10. an acre; a trillion dollar industry. All they need is 25% of the 112 acres to take your land. Simple minded? Yeah right! Be in my shoes & Get screwed

[FRACKILLS]

That is Ten Dollars an acre, when the lowest going fair market rate is $30,000.00 an acre, even NY and PA are getting screwed at $5,500 and $5,700 an acre. I would not signed for even $100,000.00 an acre, I live on a farm over 100 acres. Do the math, it is NOT worth the risk. It is a FLOOD ZONE to add insult upon injury, but the gas industry does not care. And obviously neither did the neigbors.
