[benohyde]

that is all bull s__t.you would all be lost with out gas

[haostrom]

@benohyde ok then you drink the water out of the tap that has flames coming from it! People are only lost because they are given no alternative. Electric cars are expensive, and not every city has mas transit, the bus system takes hours to get you anywhere which is makes it not an option for people commuting to and from work. The oil and gas company wouldn't be in business if everyone had wind, solar and electric cars, they can't have that they need to make their profits.

first of all Halliburton is spelled with two L's and second do you like driving you car and having a warm home to come home to? if you said yes then you have no right to complain...

[haostrom]

@jettune03 oh give me a break !! who cares I guess that is all you can get me for a type-o it happens to everyone. Second of all We don't drive we ride bikes and not only that we have solar panels. So,ya I do have the right to complain as I don't like breathing polluted air.

[Smith20106]

What a bunch of misleading B.S.

[haostrom]

@Smith20106 Tell that to the people that have been poisoned by the hydro-fracing process.

[TheWezid]

american stupidity if it aint happening to me it aint happening all of you are drowning in this peice of shit system. i wanted to cry when i saw this gasland documentary i love this earth. like cb radio u run your mouth . but when u met me your mouth will stop u wanna bet

[Dealit707]

What a load of bullcrap.

Fracking for natural gas deposits happens thousands of feet below any aquifers. It is vertually imposible to contaminate an aquafer by fracking for natural gas deposits. It has NEVER happened.

Always be leary of this kind of propaganda with its whistling/guitar strumming background music. What a joke.

@TheWezid

Gasland is propaganda film made by the 1% super rich.

They have their money and now do not want to have any eyesore industries within their view of the countryside.

They are people who have also invested in wind and solar and now see cheap natural gas as a threat to their investments.

Natural gas is the cheapest and cleanest energy to be found on the planet.

People who have invested in other energy sources want to stop clean gas.

Don't be fooled by them.

[zebratangozebra]

If you are against natural gas.

Which is the cleanest energy to be found on the planet.

Then you are for nuclear, coal or oil.

So which one do you want to use ?

Gas comes out of just about any well that has ever been dug.

It is mostly harmless.

It is not in the water.

It is in the gases that come out with the water.

[JagdtygerII]

Has anyone besides myself noticed that whenever there is death, destruction and/or polution associated with oil and gas wells, Haliburton is involved? They were directly involved in the Gulf Oil well blow out, several foreign disasters and now in Fracking. Could it be that that company is doing this deliberately, because it has control of unpoluted water sources???

[olga2415]

A twin bill dealing with the oil and gas industries...Queen of England Elizabeth II owns all the offshore oil rigs....does she also own the gas industry? It's outrageous enough that her offshore oil rigs have destroyed the viability of the life in the oceans with the Gulf of Mexico oil spill which is still spewing oil as I type!

[waterwells65]

methane contaminated wells are fixable at an affordable price,looking for wells to work on in Pa ,
