Split Estate Trailer

www.splitestate.com Split Estate Trailer - Imagine discovering that you don't own the mineral rights under your land, and that an energy company plans to drill for natural gas two hundred feet from your front door. Split Estate maps a tragedy in the making, as citizens in the path of a new drilling boom in the Rocky Mountain West struggle against the erosion of their civil liberties, their communities and their health.

Also, folks who live nearby the drilling get their water from aquifers, springs, or creeks; when those water sources are contaminated, their lives are threatened. To drill through an aquifer into the rock below poses an immediate and longterm threat to the groundwater and aquifer systems not only in the immediate area, but also down stream and for future generations.

Why do people whine about not owning mineral rights? Either

(a) your family sold off the rights long ago to make money

(b) you bought the property for less cost because you don't own the mineral rights

(c) you didn't do your homework when buying the property and didn't realize it. Take responsibility for your own destiny.

I saw Gasland too, you yanks are really getting a hard time from your govt and big business, seems you're losing all of your citizen rights slowly, but surely. Sad times indeed, the world used to look up to you for aspiration, now we look over to you to see how bad things can get for common people.

I need to see this.  I've seen "Gasland" and would recommend it. I know a family here in Pa who can't drink their water anymore due to contamination from nearby drilling. I'm worried about our water and our future. Our new governor, Tom Corbett, is all about gas-drilling. I'm afraid people are easily influenced by money and won't see the real long-term, negative impacts of drilling on our land. Clean water and the health of our children are invaluable and cannot be monetized.

I'd like to see that woman in 2 years..if she did indeed ingest fracking fluid... but chances are, even she did, it was a minute amount.

@caribousteaks , have you any regard for the inherent sanctity of human life? While conservatives such as yourselves bicker over the fact that our own industries are polluting our watersheds and groundwater resources, precious souls are being lost. Entities with a wanton lust for financial gain and profit are undermining the inherent sanctity of human life.

"I've had it in my mouth..I've tasted it and I'm just fine." What a load of bullshit she's sipping on.
