Gasland Summary
In the video "Gasland", filmed by Josh Fox, it focuses on communities in the United States impacted by natural gas drilling and, specifically, a method of horizontal drilling into shale formations known as slickwater fracking. Josh Fox received a letter in the mail asking permission to frack on his land and he will receive a large amount of money for it. They did not tell him the affect it would cause or that there were any at all. He wanted to learn more information on this so he visited some people in the town and soon enough all around the United Sates to see what their effect was. The fracking was affecting their water and the water was even able to be lit on fire because of the amount of chemicals in it. The water was contaminated and not drinkable at all. This even caused a house to blow up. This is a horrible method and it has gotten so many people sick and needs to stop. It has polluted the air to the point were people have to go outside in masks and when they do go outside, they go outside to construction going on and none of the workers are aware of what they are doing. The companies have them and everyone brainwashed but not for long because they soon catch on to what is going on... but it is too late.
