15. Absofrackin'lutely! Tx 4 ur info, activism & commitment H2Oman! BTW - Seen this movie preview yet?

Saw previews over the weekend of a movie to come that will (hopefully) do a lot to spread more factual information. Although after searching on the movie title I see FOX is already attacking it. I'm just hoping the well-liked Matt Damon's attachment to it will help get some new eyes on the topic.

"Promised Land" is a new film starring and written by Matt Damon and John Krasinski, based on a story by San Francisco-based writer Dave Eggers. In the film, Damon and actress Frances McDormand play a team that shows a rural town hard hit by economic decline, offering to pay big money for drilling rights.

Krasinski plays a local activist who leads the town into rebellion against the drillers, arguing that their plans would damage the local environment. To anyone who is familiar with the debates about fracking in, say, upstate New York, this will be a familiar story.
