GasLand Part II

Genre: Documental

Plot: Josh Fox returns in this documentary film against the Gas Industry in United States. The Gas Industry, poison the american people in post of the substitute for oil. No Agency, the Federal Government or State do nothing for avoid this criminal acts against the people and nature. USA have the most great gas reserve in the world. Someone call USA Gas Arabia Saudíi. What is the cost for the people? In the second movie, the injustice, the criminal contamination, the protest banner and the expropriation are the final moves of Gas Industry. The Gas Industry are protected by federal government. EPA is only a puppet without any sense. The States are bribed. Nobody can help the american people that by generations works his lands and inheriting to generation to generation. All politics, including Barack Obama supports the Gas Industry with the argument that it’s the future of energy. It’s a fact that USA have enough gas for support country energy by 100 year. But, again, what’s cost?

Contamination, death, deserts, bad water, chemicals. The panorama is terrible. Most terrible is the effect of methane. The extracting Natural Gas from the soil releases enormous quantity of methane to atmosphere that contribute to the global warming. Methane is the principal reason of explosions in the factories and fire in the people water. How many power have the Gas Industry in USA for destroy the land? They are free of any law that force this companies disclose the chemicals and the technology behind all this disaster. Scientifics, journalist and affected people by his own methods, denouncing the methods of the companies. The principal problem with this methods is when the companies drilling the land for obtained the gas, a cement layer around the tube is broken causing that the chemicals enter into the earth contaminating the water. Other great problem is the liberation of methane in great quantities. Many people leave their houses and land because the risk of an explosion is very high. The documental presents a man that constructed a house of various millions dollars in a land that the Industry Gas made fracking. The man was never able to live his home. Measurements of methane was so high that any spark could cause an explosion.

USA wants replace the oil in some manner. This gas industry has convinced the White House that the Natual Gas is the principal solution for fight against the oil prices. With many influences the gas Industry has promoted laws for his own benefit. Another brutal detail is that some fracking (hydraulic fracturing for obtain natural gas) are very near that cities how California and New York. This documental establishes the great possibility that the great quantities of methane liberated continually in the nearby to New York had changed the climate. Hurricane Irene caused a great disaster never seen before in the city. Coincidence? The principal image that Josh Fox take was one simple. He recorded in a plane the USA lands with the Gas Wells. Was impressive. Thousands and Thousand of gas well have disfigured the USA land in a terrible manner. Wonderful lands, maintained by american people by generations. Now are own by the Gas industry. Nobody can help this people. No government, EPA, White House, not even Barack Obama? Nahh, he supports this shit. Certainly we need energy, but it’s possible get energy avoiding killing people, killing the nation, killing generations. It’s possible. But sure, the great interest not want this.
