Overview
Natural Gas production has skyrocked in recent years due to new tecnology called Hydrolic Fracturing or Fracking.
Fracking is the process of digging deeper; injecting the well with thousands of gallons of chemicals to force out the gas. In the process ground and water supplies are contaminated with chemicals and gas. This environmental catastrophe is then covered up by the gas companies who promise safety.
Gas pipelines have exploded killing people and destroying homes and property.
Watch the film Gasland for more information.
