The Rising Influence of Rising Affluence

[OakesCS]

the game of blaming everything on Bush is more than tiresome.

the falsehoods in Gasland have been debunked in many forums including here. The filmmakers clearly have no knowledge of the topic since they've apparently lumped hydrofracturing and other stimulation practices together. The little map of the world in the video which purports to show areas where hydrofrac'ing is taking place is just flat out wrong. There is no slickwater hydrofrac'ing taking place in roughly 90% of the areas shown on that map. As an example, roughly 95% of the natural gas produced in Alaska is reinjected because they have no economically viable means of transporting and selling it. Never mind that the natural gas in Alaska isnt produced from shales. Only mindless drones (aka literature majors) believe such crap without questioning the validity. Apparently, college literature classes don't spend enough time examining the writings of Joseph Goebbels.
