A source for the bolded text is here. Google "Lisa Jackson" “proven cases where the fracking process itself has affected water.” There are many other sources.

Hojczyk posted the source that I used here.

Apart from all the jobs, the fracking business is creating about 2000 millionaires a year. . . .put that in your pipe greenies . . . .capitalism at work.

Matt Damon, has made some good movies. Then I found out what a complete political idiot(elitist) the guy is, lives in fantasy land with no sense of reality.

Aren’t they just acquiring the mineral rights to the land? Of course, as those of us who live in the Marcellus shale are finding out, it is almost the same thing as they can do pretty much anything they want once they have those rights. I am not against drilling OR fracking but you have to live in an area like that to know what is really going on.
Our gas boom is pretty much a bust right now. People are being laid off in local businesses. It’s been real slow for almost a year. I think if Romney had won, it would have picked up but we don’t see much movement.

Matt Damon and Frances McDormand in Promised Land (Focus Features)

In case anybody is curious about Frances McDormand. The BS media gives the other actor more than his fair share.

The best course of action is to boycott Promised Land and tell others to do so too. Too many lies and junk science are being used to justify policy that destroys America's freedom.

NY State will find away to pass fracking because they want the money.
Andy Cuomo could care less about cows, water or people in Western NY. That part of the state is red anyhow. He wants money to spend in NYC
Damon is a fool if he thinks other wise

[gaijin]

Uhh.....

PS - Arabs financed this movie to the Nth degree.

Just thought I’d fit that in, there.

CommieWood’s job is to promote communism. Everything they do is to promote their utopian slavery.

Happy New Year

“Andy Cuomo could care less about cows, water or people in Western NY”

To true, all he see’s is dollars!

I keep hearing that the whole project that is this film is funded by one of the oil rich arabian countries in the middle earth... oops, I mean middle east.

This whole year, so far, is odd!!!

Don't expect a lot of people to read with open minds, Cricket. I'm not a NIMBY, and certainly not anti-American fuel. All for fracking. But folks don't want to hear about the lies that are told while landmen secure those rights, or how they repeatedly twist or misrepresent things, or how the rules change once those rights are secured.

Thankfully, I knew an oil and gas attorney, was adept at doing research, and had time to spare. Was able to negotiate an 18-page monster of a lease for myself and several thousand neighbors; the money came easy, it was the lease language that mattered.

For some inane reason, people think that if you question any part of the fracking, you must be some tree-hugging commie-loving anti-American. In truth, you only want people to be educated about their rights before they enter into a legally binding contractual agreement. Once those rights are signed over, you can't claim them later.

When it comes to oil and gas leasing, it's buyer beware. I wouldn't line my birdcage with a Producer 88 lease, and neither should anyone else.

Companies have been “fracking” wells since the 50’s. What is new is the horizontal drilling. Fracking happens much deeper than water locations. The only way water gets contaminated from a well is if the well casing leaks near the surface where the water is. And fracking has nothing to do with that.

You’re right. There is no real connection between fracking and leasing land. Fracking is an operational process. Leasing is a legal process of transfering rights. But every royalty owner always has the right to participate in the well. The guys who get screwed are the ones who own surface rights, but not the mineral rights. Yet the courts have ruled that those owning mineral rights have the right to produce those minerals and receive the value for them. And the cheapest way of producing them is to sign a lease which effectively gives the majority to a producer who is willing to invest capital.

Quit buying into “entertainment's” subterfuge. They never intend for entertainment to be just “entertainment”, its all some degree of progressive propaganda.

Instead of going with the flow, understand who these people really are and what their real intention is and stay away from movies the anti-freedom/anti-liberty ones are in. No different from buying oil from terrorists who use your money against you.
