Coming to First Parish Unitarian Universalist
75 The Great Road ~ Bedford MA “Gasland”
Saturday, March 10th @ 7:00pm
 The documentary "Gasland" brought the term "hydraulic fracturing" into the nation's living rooms. With its sharp and sustained criticism of gas drilling, it highlighted the growing debate that has come with a boom in the country's domestic energy production.Is fracking a dangerous way of getting gas? Or, is it the start of an economic resurgence which could supply the US with 100 years of ‘clean energy’ and with energy independence ? Arguments are being made on both sides.
The HBO film follows Josh Fox, a New York filmmaker whose family owns property in northeast Pennsylvania. After a gas company offers to lease the land for drilling, he takes off in a beat-up Toyota to interview people harmed by gas drilling.
Industry groups, such as the Independent Petroleum Association of America, have accused Mr. Fox of confusing hydraulic fracturing with drilling in general. They allege many other errors, large and small and issued a seven-page rebuttal to the film, called "Debunking Gasland". In the meantime, Fox responded with his own detailed defense of the movie "Affirming Gasland”. Come see for yourself – learn more about this important debate.
