Fracking

Hi , I have only recently started looking into the controversy about this . Depending on who you believe it seems that it could have a bad impact on water pollution ie river and therefore estuary fish stocks .
This report is lengthy but you can get the gist of it by using the "page down" facility and skipping the detail . http://www.frackingresearch.org/report.pdf
Just wondered whether any of you guys are campaigning on the environmental / angling issues ?

I'm not so sure that film is all it seems.

The occurrence of methane in the coals of the Laramie Formation has been well documented in numerous publications by the Colorado Geological Survey, the United States Geological Survey, and the Rocky Mountain Association of Geologists dating back more than 30 years. For example, a 1976 publication by the Colorado Division of Water Resources states that the aquifer contains “troublesome amounts of . . . methane.”

And the film maker

also dropped the bombshell that I had not been aware of that there were media reports of people lighting their water as far back as 1936. Again this was not included in Gasland because it was not "relevant".
