watching rachel maddow online
after watching gasland a few days ago. they keep playing this commercial and it really disgusts me. it's this soft spoken man talking about how all the energy is just under the rocks just waiting. clean and safe. MY ASS. fracking is destroying the water supply in a lot of places already. as usual the energy companies and their greed just move in and do their damage collect their checks and leave the mess. and this commercial really bugs me. is it about fracking or is there a safe way to collect this clean energy? i tend to believe the former. it especially hurts that this runs over and over and over on rachel maddow's show.
please weigh in. tell me what i am missing. thank you.

2. They've been playing that ad everywhere
It's disgusting - other DUers have suggested that it's their response to the backlash following Gasland.

3. could very well be. but what makes it worse is folks that think it's fine
as long as they aren't the ones with the poisoned water. and look at how nice the gas companies were to truck in water for them to drink!! uggh. it isn't 'clean' energy if it poisons the water and the environment.

4. they couldn't make that man
seem more nonthreatening if they tried. oh, i am sure it's no accident. sickening. the BP ads also sicken me and i think but i'm not sure that they ran on maddow's online show as well. pure bullshit.
