I am not tring to upset any one but I think that some times we need to look at the bigger picture. Look out side the box. This world is a volital place we live in and so many people don't realize that this will help out our country. Yes there is risk involved , there is a risk to all of us just getting out of the house. By the way, They do stop driving on these roads when the busses are out on these roads for the safty of the children. Speed is also monitored very closely. I hope this helps.

@annacharley I agree with you that we must think outside the box. That is why I believe that we need to develop sustainable energy and to wean ourselves off of fossil fuels. Change is difficult and it will take time. Having a culture accept changes in something as important as energy will be a huge accomplishment to achieve. However, I believe with education and persistence we will eventually succeed. I thank you again for participating and for caring.

@annacharley I hope that you watched Part 2 of this video. If you have not, please watch it if you can. I think you will find it very informative.

The concerns about the drinking water and the animals and the trees I understand, but there is pros and cons in what we do in every day life as well. Think about all things not just drilling for gas. How about people that clear out trees to build a house. How is that different? A septic system that leaks, better yet what about nuclear waste? I worry about that more then drilling for gas. I believe that we do need this. I think we need to look at more deadly things then drilling for gas.

@annacharley It is our responsibility to protect the land, water, air, food, wildlife, neighbors, and it is our responsibility not to continue with the technology that has polluted our life sources. I strongly believe that we should be reducing the use of fossil fuels every single day. We have all the gas we need for many years to come and that time will give us the opportunity to advance the technologies on sustainable energies.

I would rather have the noise untill they are done to get the gas so we can stop worring about sending our kids to the middle east to fight other countries so they can free up water ways just so we can get oil to turn into gas and other things to survive. I know for a fact that these people have been hiring to give people jobs but they can not take every one with out being cautious in who they take, I don't want some that takes drugs to work on a gas drilling site.

@annacharley If you google military and solar power you will see that the military is the biggest purchaser of solar powered technology. The military knows that most lives lost are due to the soldiers having to guard the fuel trucks so they are trying very hard to have solar powered equipment for everything the soldiers need - it is way cool and so very promising

@annacharley I hope that your husband has a successful and safe career. I know a farmers's property that there was a spill on over 25 years ago - the grass is just starting to return. And the farmer was not allowed to ever farm on that land again.

My husband works for the gas drilling companys and it is not what people think it is... I used to think the same way. The gas companys HAVE to get permission from the property owners befor they can even think about drilling. THey also give the owners money to be on the property, The trees will grow back and the animals will come back. As far as the trucks go there is strict rules that they have to go by, There are mandatory classes that they have to go to. ops have to make another note above....

I am sorry you do not agree with me, but I welcome different points of view - it creates good dialogue. I also welcome research and education on all topics. I do hope you watched Part 2. Again I thank you for taking the time and concern in watching this video.
