GasLand is a documentary movie that has come out that is critical of the Natural Gas industry especially some of their drilling and completion methods. It is showing on HBO tonight and I plan to watch it if I can to see what it’s all about. Of course I’m very interested because I work in the Natural Gas industry so I’m going to watch it if Sweetie will let me have the remote.

Here is the GasLand official trailer.

GasLand has a website listed but it doesn’t seem to go anywhere. Give it a shot if you like here.

Here is the HBO Link. It has all sorts of good stuff on it including links to environmental organizations.

The Independent Petroleum Association of America (“IPAA”) through their Energy in Depth website has posted a detailed counter to many of the assertions made in the film. You can check that out here. It is quite detailed and if you want to look at a simpler version of their specific points check this.

For the record, I haven’t seen the movie but the trailer seems a little sensationalist to me. I know the IPAA is hardly an impartial source but they do provide links to back up their claims. If you watch the movie please comment back and let me know what you think.

Thanks,
