You don't know what you're talking about. Fracking in the Haynesville area is over two miles below ground. No drinking water contamination has been seen in the area and they have been fracking for sometime. Chris your an idiot! You don’t know what you’re talking about.

I sincerely appreciate your full disclosure that you know the filmmakers though. This film is an attempt to greenwash natural gas and fracking into appearing clean and renewable while they couldn't be farther than either. Short term promises of riches and profits from the oil and gas companies come at a very high price - the inability to drink the water from below your property. Choose wisely. Your neighbor drinks from the same water table as you do... educate them before they're dooped into poisoning your water. Watch the 2011 Oscar nominated, "Gasand," for what happens a year or 5 down the line after your property is fracked. ahhhh…. astroturfing at its best!
