<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZe1AeH0Qz8>. Gasland is an extremely influential
film and winner of the special jury prize for documentaries at the 2010 sun dance film
festival. Gas Land was one of the first attacks against fracking and is an important
contributor to public opinion about fracking.
The Economist. Economist, 15 Feb. 2014. Web. 28 Oct. 2014.
<http://www.economist.com/debate/debates/overview/246>. This forum, set up by the
economist is very interesting because it shows how divided the public is on the subject of
hydraulic fracturing. 51% to 49% said that fracking wasnt worth the environmental cost
which is an extremely narrow margin.
Gold, Russell. "Fracking Report Sites Bad Wells for Tainted Water." Wall Street Journal: n. pag.
Wall Street Journal. Web. 28 Oct. 2014. <http://online.wsj.com/articles/fracking-report-
cites-bad-wells-for-tainted-water-1410820465>. This article is extremely interesting to
me because of its relevance, while things like Gas Land where made in 2010, this article
was published just over a month ago and contains the most relevant information. In
addition, this article provides me with a source to rebut many of the claims about
frackings immediate environmental damages.
"Pros and Cons of Fracking." The Scientific Alliance. Scientific Alliance, n.d. Web. 28 Oct.
2014. <http://scientific-alliance.org/scientific-alliance-newsletter/pros-and-cons-
fracking>. This is an interesting article because it provides both sides to the fracking
argument. In addition, this is a british site which can give me another perspective on what
the world thinks of fracking and what concerns other major countries have. For instance,
do countries with stricter environmental regulations and supervision mind fracking as
much? is it even allowed?
U.S. Energy Administration. U.S. Department of Energy, 30 Sept. 2014. Web. 28 Oct. 2014.
<http://www.eia.gov/dnav/ng/hist/n9050us2a.htm>. i like this site because it provides a
very intuitive, visual representation of how Fracking has affect american production of
natural gas and energy.
