FrackNation: Tedious leprechaun likes fracking. So fracking what ?

The history of anti-Gasland mockumentaries repeats itself – again. The first time as tragedy – Shelly dePue’s painfully embarrassing Bubbling Annulus, (which is the unseen star of Truthyland), the second time as farce: Phlegm McKleer’s cut ‘n paste FrackNation.  Wherein Phlegm the Phracking Phreak explains the grass roots opposition to shale gas industrialization as a …

Chip Northrup Interview by Ellen Cantarow

Ellen Cantarow is one of the few journalists that does interviews longer than 3 minutes, so she is able to get a much more comprehensive picture of the subject matter. Plus she asks the key questions. EcoWatch is one of the few e-Zines that stays on the cutting edge of …

thank-you

THANK-YOU Marcellus Shale Coalition

What?  Did you read the title correctly?  Does it really say THANK-YOU Marcellus Shale Coalition????? Yes, you read it correctly.  I am thanking the Marcellus Shale Coalition for “striking back” against Promised Land movie. I woke this morning to an interesting article “Marcellus Shale industry strikes back at ‘Promised Land’” …

Fracking Nostradamus

Fracking Predictions

These are my predictions for the New Year, based on a careful reading of Nostradamus augmented by a big tumbler of egg-nog spiked to the brim (no freeboard) with bourbon. 1. You will comment on the proposed fracking regulations. The DEC received fewer than 700 comments on the Sept 2011 draft. I …

Home Rule

Promised Land: Home Rule Ad

NY Daily News review here -  http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/frack-gov-watch-promised-land-late-article-1.1231305#ixzz2GpoZLl00 Just got back from a Dallas early screening of Promised Land and it is indeed a great movie, basically a black comedy about a life form that is almost as low as the fracking shills at Energy in Depth. (Hence the R rating) Nifty O. …

not real promised land

The NOT Real Promised Land

On December 28, 2012, the movie Promised Land is being released in New York and Los Angeles.  For the rest of us, we will have to wait until January 4, 2013. Since its announcement this summer, the Natural Gas industry has had its boxers in a bunch.   Between editorial hit …

fracking re-Bourne

Promised Land unBourne

Promised Land has been screened to a friendly audience of fractavists, some of whom were apparently disappointed that Mr. Damon did not undergo a transformation on the road to Damascus  “turn Bourne” and take out a few of his former fellow frackers with some anti-fracking polemics, if not a sniper rifle. …

fracking regulations

Meet the new fracking regs.

Same as the old fracking regs. And yes, we did get fooled again. Have breezed through the DEC’s proposed fracking regulations, and guess what, after 80,000 comments, 4 year, 298 meetings, and blah blah blah, they have not changed a !*&*7%%$ fracking thing. Same old poop - absolutely nothing to do with …
