It still hasn’t ceased to amaze me that so-called environmentalists and hardcore progressives are still so determined to take as gospel the deliberately misleading documentary Gasland — it was nominated for an Academy Award, for goodness’ sake — and to paint filmmaker Josh Fox as a hero in the struggle to save the planet. Even after all of the widespread debunking that went on after the film’s release, Fox went ahead with a sequel that doubled down on the same ol’ outrageous lies and misrepresentations. It didn’t say much for the level of journalistic integrity involved in the films, and it doesn’t surprise me that the makers of the dueling documentary FrackNation have unearthed yet another example of a fracking fabrication in Fox’s original film:
My, my.
Hydraulic fracturing has been one of the most remarkable innovations in energy production, in that it’s been both a huge boon for jobs and the economy and it’s responsible for the shale gas revolution — which in turn has led to the United States’ recent decrease in total carbon emissions. That just happens to be the stated goal of self-proclaimed environmentalists everywhere — why are these progressives so anti-science?
LIES AND FABRICATIONS HERE:
Science and liberals are not friends.
Math and liberals are not friends.
Logic and liberals are not friends.
Successful economics and liberals are not friends.
Energy and liberals are not friends.
Hmmmm, I’m beginning to sense a trend here.......
Read today a private equity outfit is going to build a half billion $ pipeline in Ohio to supply water from the Ohio River to frackers.
Fracking lives!

Marxists never tire of retelling the same old stupid lies.
The number of lies told by the anti-fracking people is just being discovered. What surprises me is how many naive people believe these lies. I recently heard one women say that millions of people have died from fracking. She is a Federal Government employee who repeats liberal lies without understanding them but is in many ways a kind and generous person and very intelligent. Book smart, not practical smart.
Not book smart either, if the statement by her that millions have died was uttered by her.
WV has been fracking friendly since it was invented.
How’s the water over there in WV?
Good question. Depends on whether you’re downstream from cattle or an abandoned coal mine. It’s slowly getting better.
“There are some ideas so stupid only an intellectual would believe them.” George Orwell
RE: Depends on whether you’re downstream from cattle or an abandoned coal mine.
I actually asked the question in the context of fracking because here in NY State, the enviros OPPOSE fracking precisely because they believe it will contaminate our water.
Now if fracking in WV doesn’t contaminate your water, why should it contaminate ours?
The anti-fracking hysteria is not aimed at protecting the environment—it’s about the LEFT trying to cripple our economy in any way possible.
saved for later
If the feedlot runoff filters through the coal mine, it has to be the best!!
It won’t.
