This article went viral in about 10 seconds and it should, the oil and gas lobby is going to dump a lot of resources into punching holes in this very important documentary.

1. Were getting a lot of TV ads from API and other fossil fuel Orgs. around here lately.

I think that part of the reason was to stage a pre-emptive strike against "Gasland" since they knew that it would be airing on HBO.

It's going to be interesting to see how this all plays out in this area since I live in the Marcellus region.
