Is “fracking” safe? When filmmaker Josh Fox received an unexpected offer of $100,000 for the natural gas drilling rights to his property in the Delaware River Basin, on the border of New York and Pennsylvania, he resisted the urge to accept. Instead, he set off on a cross-country journey to investigate the risks of agreeing to this deal..
The largest domestic natural gas drilling boom in history has swept across the United States. Beneath our continent lies a vast underground ocean of natural gas waiting to be harvested. The Halliburton-developed drilling technology of “fracking” (hydraulic fracturing) – exempt by the Bush-Cheney Energy Policy Act of 2005 from our national Safe Drinking Water Act and the Clean Air Act – has unlocked a “Saudia Arabia of natural gas” just beneath us. Across the country, in major cities such as New York, Los Angeles and Dallas-Ft. Worth – where drilling is slated to take place or is already occurring directly in nearby water-supply areas – a crisis looms that could affect millions.
