Gasland (on HBO)

"Gasland" | NOW on PBS | PBS Video

Very interesting and informative 20 minute video on a BIG issue and problem you didn’t know about. As if there wasn’t enough energy failures in the country already looks like we have another one to deal with. You might want to watch the full video on HBO. However just this 20 minute clip and interview with PBS NOW will give you a good idea of the energy corporations and what they think of you and I.

Watch this an tell me we don’t need to look at alternative renewable safe energy!

Isn't that a propaganda piece funded by our government and paid for to be on a government tv station?

Who is running the show in the government again?

GasLand Debunked:
Energy in Depth

look, there's always two sides of every story...it helps when you have factual information, rather than mis-information trying to appeal to bleeding hearts...

and just a bit of advice...you're hunting the wrong animal by going after the Oil and Gas Companies, if you want the right target, look no further than our US Gov't, they are the common denomiator.

They aren't the one who created these messes in the first place. The only thing these corporations have gotten good at is putting the spin on their stories. Like Obama said, there will be enough blame to go around.

Yes, Government is the cause of the messes in the first place.

Clinton put the oil drilling in deep water, with very little restrictions.

Do you really expect the link you provide to be unbias?

sure...it's bias, but do you really expect the film "GasLand" to be unbias?

if you're willing to do some legwork, you can run your own fact check, based on the link I provided...if you find some inaccuracies, by all means, expose them!

Do you expect PBS to be unbiased, since it is funded by our federal government?

Propaganda, nothing else.
