Embarrassed that at 1 point I wanted to believe becuz the 1st was well told in the best manipulative & edited way possible. Go look at real facts & you'll laugh that you ever thought Fracking had anything to do w/anything. It's a completely made-up premise that has found hmmmm...how much real support since the 1st film came out? I'm sorry if I think energy independence & being able to drill sideways is backwards thinking of me. Josh Fox is a Fraud. He just wants to be star, doesn't matter how. How's his career went where since is Oscar Nom for the fiction "Gasland?" He had to make a 2nd? Really? Why? That's right you have to make up excuses about the things u said in the 1st film completely proved false.

Doesn't matter what the facts are to some people I go know for a fact it's unnatural destruction of the environment for corporate profit Good movie worth a watch.What facts do the previous reviewers that hated it have that it's all propaganda and lies.Glad I don't live near one of those shales anymore.But of course the industry isn't causing any of that rightA must watch film
... View MoreIf you are a fan of HBO's notorious left leaning "documentaries" then this one will not disappoint you. If you have your own brain and can think independently and do a little of your own research you will find this documentary to be worthless."What I didn't know was that the 2005 energy bill pushed through Congress by Dick Cheney exempts the oil and natural gas industries from the Safe Drinking Water Act. They were also exempt from the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Superfund law, and about a dozen other environmental and Democratic regulations."Dick Cheney didn't do any harm to the Federal Clean Air Act because there is no "Halliburton Loophole" statutory law amendment of the Clean Air Act contained in the Energy Policy Act of 2005; you can read it for yourself.I can tell you with 100% certainty that the Federal Clean Air Act has never been amended to incorporate a categorical oil and gas industry exemption from the fundamental jurisdictional requirements of the Act. Josh Fox's claim that the oil and gas industry has some sort of categorical exemption from regulation and that hydraulic fracturing and other oil and gas industry process equipment and facilities are exempted from regulation under the Federal Clean Air Act is fabrication and erroneous conflation. The Federal Clean Air Act affords U.S. EPA full jurisdiction over emissions from the oil and gas industry. This statutory jurisdiction takes place both directly and through the states through development of federally approved and federally enforceable state implementation plans under Section 110 of the Clean Air Act.Also, contrary to Gasland claims, there is no exemption contained in the Federal Clean Water Act either that is a categorical exemption of the oil and gas industry from jurisdiction under the Act for hydraulic fracturing process wastewater.....another Gasland falsehood.I could go on but what's the point? Get you news from Bill Maher and never read anything of fact then make your own documentary about how G.W. Bush is causing the continuous failure of the Obama administration.
... View MoreSo I watched this film today on HBO and I have to say I was very moved. The stories that these Americans (who could have been our neighbors, our friends or our family) shared were stunning. The tales burrowed their way into my mind and heart much like the natural gas companies had done in these peoples backyards with or without permission and without a shred of compassion or care of their safety and our Constitutional rights. I had seen Mr. Fox's first film and thought it was very good but this one was even better. It showed that none of us are safe from greed, and that our government protection was for sale and apparently sold to the highest bidder long ago. This film does not paint a pretty picture for what is in our future and that was not the point, there won't be a Hollywood ending for us because this is real life and unlike the lies that are ever present from the evil that has fractured us to core as a country this film is telling (through the word of it's own flesh and blood people) the truth and that is always refreshing and timeless. This film may not change the world, it may not change your mind but it sure as heck should make you think. It made me think that maybe we're not living in America anymore and it made me wonder if we can ever really be worth saving as human beings. Yeah I know that's kinda dark but it's the truth and sometimes it ain't all peaches and cream.
