  After they saw how he twisted the facts for Gasland, I don't blame them, I wouldn't want him in there either.

Emily,

 

You may want to call for back up, obviously you do not have the aptitude to debate here.  But if you insist, first question, what do you heat your house with?

What right do you or any one else on this sight to say some thing about some ones aptitude. People are all feeling the impact this gas industry is having on us in North east PA!

I do realize that some people are enjoying the Industry. But some are concerned with the enviro. I think that we all should respect each others opinions here. And, I have to say, not everyone up state heats with gas, for the most part, people heat with alternatives here. So, that should have been your last question!

And what are those "alternatives" they are using to heat with?

It is time the industry gets tough on these purveyors of propaganda.

 

Ironic, the Marxist SUCK up more energy than the Makers!

The news this morning said he applied for credentials the day before the hearing but didn't get them in time. He was then allowed to sit in on the hearing with the stipulation that he not film. But...wait for it...he filmed anyway. So they arrested him. This is hardly a case of "hey, there's Josh Fox whom we hate...Get him!"

Gasland is a fraud and so is its producer.

However, we should be careful with using police power to silence him. This same power could be used against us someday.  I don't trust "the authorities" whether controlled by my political enemies or friends!
