It's too funny: one of the things that everyone in the struggle to protect the environment against hydrofracking knows is that the opposition relies upon one tactic in particular: to say that we rely upon "emotion," while they deal in "facts." Not surprisingly -- in fact, to be expected -- we see this even here on DU (see post #4). That "socialist" (what greater credential than a DU name?) questions if 5% of all wells fail immediately? And no links to emotional "we" (sic) sites serve as proof. Ha! The movie includes gas industry documents, as well as the reports of professors from Cornell and Stamford -- surely an appeal to emotion, if there's ever been one.
