I take the environmental consequences of this seriously, since we are in the same region. I had the misfortune of hearing an interview with the director on Fresh Air. It was one of the few times I've heard Terry Gross give someone a complete pass. I am however concerned since the gulf incident that deep drillers know less about what they are doing than they pretend to publicly.

I just heard a report about that film on Vermont Public Radio. The fraccing process didn't sound all that great, but what I found most interesting was that when you consider the entire lifecycle of natural gas vs coal they produce the same amount of pollution.

Curious what do you mean Terri Gross gave him a "pass"?

I live not too far from Dimock, PA where they made a lot about lighting tap water on fire. Problem being they've long been able to light the tap water in Dimock and apparently there is a local pond which the locals light once a year. The drillers may or may not have made things worse, but the problem was pre-existing. Terri treated the interview like an entertainment piece, when she had someone with a clear political agenda on the show.
