Comparing FrackNation with Gasland Part 2 ....

1. Early on, the director of FrackNation accuses Josh Fox of making claims that he didn't. For example, Fox never claimed that methane was put in the water wells by the drillers, but that chemicals seep into groundwater from ruptured well casings, and that the drilling is a conduit for naturally occurring methane to seep into groundwater.

2. The pro-fracking residents of Dimock claim that their "Enough is enough" campaign was a grassroots effort to stop the water pipeline. They won't admit that the oil companies' PR firm started using psyops tactics to create social division in the community. They are pissed that they didn't get their wells started before the moratorium was in place. And they don't care that others in their community want clean water from Montrose.

3. The pro-fracking residents need the money or their farms might not make it. The claim is that the money made will help them sustain the open spaces so the area won't be developed, which means less land for gathering water in the watershed.

4. The director claims that Fox's copy of the lease offered to him was someone else's because the typos were the same. (hello? Boilerplate and word-processing?) He is claiming that Fox didn't receive a lease.

5. Paraphrased: "They want to stop natural gas drilling. " "Shale Gas drilling is a gift from god." "Their efforts might be funded by the Russians to keep Europe dependent on the Russians who overcharge them." Then the director interviews a Polish pensioner who can't pay her bills because her gas bill is so high.

6. Overall, a big attempt to downplay any associated dangers with fracking, including cancer and earthquake risks. He criticizes solar panel manufacturing and wind turbines as being dangerous.

Then the director talks about the obvious need for energy, which everyone agrees with. There's a bunch of other emotional crap, like the FrackNation crew being disturbed that they couldn't film a public event, just like when Fox couldn't film a public committee meeting at the Capitol.

There's lots to think about on each side. I can understand that some people aren't worried much about their water being contaminated if the money they are making is significant.
