Thank you so much, Pres Fracking Obama, and Thank You also

34. Watch the film and then get back to me.

Plenty of science that supports the hysteria. And wtch "Gaslands II" even if you have already seen "Gaslands I." The significant finding in "Gaslands II" is not merely the spectacular news that we now possess the science behind how it is the frackers that are destroying the environment (And the scene in which the special camera can detect and offer the visuals on all the methane escaping continuously from each drill site, that scene is chilling!) Rather what is most chilling is how as the Australian I quoted in a post above states, "What is at stake is not just the environment, but democratic governance itself." And that is it in a nutshell.

Here's some science as revealed in the film: In even a small arena of fracking operations, say two counties in PA, there are tens of thousands of these drilling wells. Since the containment structures of five percent of them are known to leak immediately - not a year or two from now but NOW! - and since thirty to fifty percent of these structures will leak over the next thirty years, we are talking about a potential loss of clean water such as the world has never ever known.

Meanwhile the EPA has been restructured over the last twelve months, especially since Obama re-took office in Jan 20th 2013. Lisa Jackson, who was heading the EPA, has been tossed out for being too effective against the frackers, and the mid level people have at EPA are no longer allowed to do their jobs, in terms of researching how the fracking is responsible for the changes in the water, soil and air.

So we no longer have an EPA. At least we no longer have an agency whose acronym indicates "Environmental Protection Agency." What we have now is the "Enthused for Polluters Agency."
