I cannot believe anyone would want to get natural gas while fracking.

For those who are interested & haven’t had the opportunity to see this documentary, please see below for an excellent opportunity.
 
Personally, I found the documentary to be incredibly informative & to provide information those “the miracles of natural gas & the safety of fracking” commercials oh, so conveniently ignore.

Gasland: Screening and Discussion
 
Wild Idaho Rising Tide and Palouse Group Sierra Club are co-sponsoring a Moscow showing of Gasland at 7 pm on Saturday, October 22.  This prize-winning film discloses the Halliburton-developed drilling technology called hydraulic fracturing or “fracking” that could soon threaten Idaho groundwater beneath Payette County.  Over the last decade, this unsafe practice has unleashed the largest natural gas drilling boom in United States history.  After filmmaker Josh Fox received an offer to lease his land for fracking, he embarked on a cross-country odyssey to uncover energy industry secrets, lies, contamination, and flammable drinking water.  Accompanied by plenty of bluegrass banjo music, his documentary contains elements of a travelogue, mystery, expose, and showdown.  The movie was nominated for a Best Documentary Oscar earlier this year and recently earned an Emmy Award for Outstanding Direction for Nonfiction Programming.  Currently working on
 the sequel Gasland 2, Fox recently marched at the Marcellus Shale protest in Philadelphia and was arrested at the Tar Sands Action at the White House.
 
Learn about the health hazards, environmental costs, and climate impacts of hydraulic fracturing/drilling for natural gas before the public comment periods for Idaho’s new draft rules governing this process end on October 26 and November 15.  We anticipate a lively discussion among concerned community members after the film screening in the Arts Workshop Room of the 1912 Center, 412 East Third Street in Moscow.  At this gathering, WIRT activists will also speak about potential fracking impacts on southern Idaho farm and ranch lands and will provide comment talking points about proposed state fracking rules.
