Hydraulic fracturing is common world wide, not just in America, and massively pollutes our fresh water supplies (see my other video on: Water - The Basics of Use, Pollution, and Our Health at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMmpg35Bym0 ).

"The largest domestic natural gas drilling boom in history has swept across the United States. The Halliburton-developed drilling technology of "fracking" or hydraulic fracturing has unlocked a "Saudia Arabia of natural gas" just beneath us. But is fracking safe? When filmmaker Josh Fox is asked to lease his land for drilling, he embarks on a cross-country odyssey uncovering a trail of secrets, lies and contamination."

Natural gas extraction is regulated but with numerous exemptions such as such as: 42 USC 300h(d)(1)(B) [underground injection - exemption for fracturing fluid].

You can check out a US Senate report (released in April 2011) on the chemical contents of these frac'ing fluids at:
http://democrats.energycommerce.house.gov/sites/default/files/documents/Hydra...

"An estimated 30% to 70% of the frac'ing fluid will resurface, bringing back with it toxic substances that are naturally present in underground oil and gas deposits, as well as the chemicals used in the frac'ing fluid." [Source: http://www.endocrinedisruption.com/chemicals.introduction.php ]

@JohnSnevets Coal will never be clean! EVER! Neither will natural gas, or petroleum or even most biofuels for that matter. If we are going to reverse the damage we've done to our planet we not only have to switch to completely sustainably energy (solar, wind, geothermal) but we also have to drastically look at our collective societal values and why we allow our wasteful economy to ravage finite resources at unprecedented rates.

@TreesOfBaylor Last time i checked cutting down a couple trees to make room for a solar panel or windmill didn't leave hundreds of people homeless or destroy and entire areas bedrock AND water supply. last time i checked windmills and solar panels don't melt down leaving thousands of people with radiation sickness and kids with 13 toes, it's wierd we don't have the spine for that? if more people started to catch on it wouldn't be so expensive to pay for out power from a windmill or a solar panel

I can't wait till I too will be able to light my water on fire around here! It will be an awesome party trick! We'll all get a kick out of that! I can't wait till my water makes me sick and I will have an easy excuse to miss work! "Hell, today I feel like getting drunk. I don't feel like going to work. I'll just call my boss and tell him I drank too much water last night and i'm sick, He'll understand." Yup, this could turn out to be a good thing for the United Corporations of America.

@Redsiix The EPA is bought out by oil and natural gas companies. They are useless. The government tax us and end up wasting so much of our money, they tell us what we can can and cannot consume - what we can can and cannot grow - and so many other things. I'm fucking tired of this system that only caters to a few! This year is the end of there road!!! I agree, RON PAUL 2012 *OR REVOLUTION!

I can't wait for something to come along and wipe our species out, our redundancy is unlivable.
