STOP THE FRACKING LIES..... START THE DRILLING NY

[landrefugee]

For 3.5 years thousand of people who have never been to Dimock PA on Carter Road have been using this small rural town as a point of argument against fracking, 99.9 percent of these zealots have never steped foot in PA let alone Carter Road. Victoria Switzer who built a home 3-500 yards down stream from an auto dump cant figure out why she has anti freeze in her well, or maybe she did and now that drilling has been done blame them. The sautners 3 years later won't let anyone test their well?

[landrefugee]

Your Up Bill... tell us about all the hush money and people relocated in the night to keep it quiet.... give us some facts Bill Houston... NAME ONE AQUIFER IN THE UNITED STATES CONTAMINATED BY HIGH VOLUME HORRIZINTIAL HYDRO-FRACTURING.... JUST ONE... and leave out your conspiracy theory

[landrefugee]

If the Gas has been down there a million years.... kept traped underneath 5 miles of solid rock, And Gas is lighter then water, How in hell is that frack water suppose to travel up through the rock and into an aquifer. It's never happened.... Not once in 70 years of drilling in NYS over 70,000 wells 6,500 still active.

GASLAND IS AN AMERICAN EMBARRESSMENT

Calling this containment of lies a documentary is an insult to American Intelligence. But one thing for sure.... you don't have to be intelligent to let a movie decide how you should think. A lack of individuality is a requiremnent to becoming a member of NYRAD intelligence also not required.

[landrefugee]

A film not made by Josh Fox... but Financed by Hugo Chavez, a murderous thug from Venezuela who kills his own countryman to maintain power. look in the credits at the end of Gasland ITS RIGHT THERE... The lies need to stop Bill Houston and NYRAD. Our state needs to move forward with drilling and since you turned down the offer to work with loca pro-gas environmentalist you can bet we won't forget when it comes to share the wealth.

6 percent of renewable energies in this country are used, 5 percent of that is wood. NIMBYS are a threat to the jobs your children and grand children can have to stay in NY. They say there environmentalist as they drive their SUV's and drink bottles of water not caring that plastic is made from petro products. They lie the same lie over and over again to strengthen their ranks, A few of them are getting rich by creating this contraversy, a few are getting the spotlight even if just a minute.

Bill The real hypocrates are people like you, You never want to talk about your fossil fuel use. When someone challanges you on it your typical response is to deflect it back with either accusation or subsitution. You don't ride your bike to work, Thats a lie, but lies are what serve the nimby movement. I bet you drive 90 percent of the time, carrying all that camera equitment around, No I don't work for the Industry and I only have 5 acres easily researched at the town. Your a fake so sad

[billhuston]

@landrefugee Actually I ride my bike to work quite often :)

Do you?

You are quite correct that the way we are getting our energy now is not sustainable. Then you shout "Hypocrite!", & go support more of the same, dirty, polluting energy. That doesn't make sense -- unless you are getting paid, or hope to, from gas development. Are you?

I did not create the present system. I am trying my best to live sustainably & advocate for transition to a sane and sustainable energy policy. Are you? peace

[landrefugee]

Bill your a delusional man. you drive your car to work, you get home depending on the time of yea,r you turn on your cooling system or heat furnace, walk over to your electric coffee pot hit the switch, turn on TV to watch your productions on OTEand flipping on your computor all without though of where the energy comes from. Now that it's available in YBY you deny deny and deny your a fracking hypocrite whhooooo whhhhhooooooo
