FRACKING VIDEO ...
The Sky is Pink, by Josh Fox
Josh Fox's 2010 film Gasland brought to public attention the groundwater contamination that seems to be an inevitable side effect of using hydraulic fracturing to get at tough natural gas resources. Gasland also stirred up a mighty counter-campaign by the fracking industry, which took a page from the playbook of tobacco firms and climate deniers: The more confusion they can create about the actual facts, the better the chance that they can keep pumping and polluting, without interference from the public or regulators. In the fracking video The Sky Is Pink, Fox explains what's been happening.
