FRACKNATION! - The Truth About Fracking!

Have you heard much about fracking? Do you know it is a safe method of obtaining oil and gas from the underground? And, that we have a lot of it available in the United States? Misinformed or radical environmentalists are, of course, trying to block fracking claiming it will contaminate our water and air, and our legislators are, of course, wanting to regulate it to the hilt for control and manipulation for their own benefit.

We're showing the great documentary, FRACKNATION (http://fracknation.com/)! It is a journalist's search for fracking truth and a direct rebuttal to the leftist production of the documentary Gasland!

The first experimental use of hydraulic fracturing was in 1947, and the first commercially successful applications were in 1949. As of 2010, it was estimated that 60% of all new oil and gas wells worldwide were being hydraulically fractured.[4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_fracturing#cite_note-Montgomery-4) As of 2012, 2.5 million hydraulic fracturing jobs have been performed on oil and gas wells worldwide, more than one million of them in the United States. - from Wikkipedia
