Gas Boom / BBC World News America

There is a natural gas reserve that might dwarf Saudi Arabia in our own back yard in Western Colorado. Some of the locals reap great economic benefits, but some not only don't, but are subject to q...

This is a great video. It really puts perspective on the environmental and health costs of gas drilling. Hopefully landowners will see this and think twice about selling their rights to gas companies.

ok wow leroy, do you think its right for them to drill in huge town like flower mound texas where people can start having health problems, there is a drill a mile away from my house and before it was there, i never had nosebleeds or diziness and i could breath, now that it is there, i cant be outside for 2 minutes without coughing my lungs out, and also i did look up benzene, yes it is used in all the stuff you mentioned but when it is alone it can cause cancer just like it did in my home town.

eitnesskater. Honestly, I don't have a problem with anyone drilling in a large town if that's where the reserves are found, provided the town wants it. People have health problems everywhere and I don't know your medical history so that would be hard to ascertain depending on what other developments have been or are happening around your community. I have worked in all phases of gaseous settings for 2 decades, up close and personal, and have never had nosebleeds or dizziness. Let me continue

Do you have any other respiratory problems you are willing to present as fact, considering the coughing your lungs out? Is it actually the drilling or the traffic? Other commercial or industrial business? If Natural gas, by itself caused cancer in your hometown, I would be very, very surprised and would advise everyone to start using electric stoves, furnaces and water heaters. Benzene is a significant contributor to cancer, if you are genetically predisposed to the causality effect......

But I can guarantee you, if you are a non-smoker, and since I am, that I would have a much greater chance of effects from benzene than you would just from that habit alone. In some parts of the country just the fact that I am a smoker makes me a leper. Since I have no facts on your community, or your medical history, I couldn't elaborate on your condition, too many variables. I'd be willing to bet anything though, that if your lungs are that disturbed and this was a century ago, you'd be dead

forms of energy. I do believe, however, that we have to tap the resources we have while someone is developing this Holy Grail of enrgy forms that you are searching for. Maybe you can be the genius that turns the engine that runs the entire world's economies, upside down, and enlightens civilization. Sounds to me like typical liberal phrases, with nothing to back them up, coming out of your responses. Educate yourself, please, then post an actual thought provoking comment.

Hmmm.... How can anyone debate ignorance? this is the 3rd time I'll state I do not work for Encana. I hear you calling me names but not refuting any facts I've presented. I don't know how you would know my IP but I can assure you I live right in the middle of the hustle and bustle and have since well before this boom started. I guess since we all exhale CO2 we are all poisoning the environment and since our bodies eliminate waste we are all poisoning the water. I do embrace alternative ...
