Gasland 2 Review

[Socialistlemur]

4. Very emotional but I'd rather see figures

I discern manipulation sometimes. If the film is about natural gas and opens with an oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico then it's manipulative. I can't blame the film makers because after all they have to get people to buy tickets and DVDs. But have a tendency when it comes to these issues to look at hard facts and skip the bs.

For example, the statement that 5 % of wells leak into fresh water aquifers (it's implied in the original post) sure sounds impressive. But I have serious doubts it's true. What the author does, if we look at it carefully is imply...it's not clearly stated. So I'll close by saying I'd rather see the support and a clear statement. And I don't let myself be impressed by links to unreliable we pages either. Get real and we can discuss it.
