THE SKY IS PINK
This is everybody's business since it really will have a profound negative affect on our state if fracking is permitted. Here are the phone numbers to the Governor's office. Call her to stop the fracking rush. 800-662-7952 or 919-733-2391 Annotated documents featured in the film can be found here:

Dave - thanks for viewing this. It scares me to think our Governor is really going to support it. This is the one veto that would define her term as governor, as far as I'm concerned. Investing in new energies is a good thing, unfortunately this is greed in its worst incarnation. There are many worthwhile energies that can be harvested and do not pollute (wind, solar, bio mass conversion) and would help put lots of folks back to work. This is like a big fat cow is about to me milked and then the cow will get very sick and die.
We cannot change human behavior, short of an apocalyptic event. Energy demands will continue to rise. The problem here is that we are going to compromise sources of safe drinking water for the hardest to reach resource. This has the potential to devastate parts of the United States. It is already happening in PA. It will be a Gulf Oil spill type disaster replayed in hundreds or thousands of locations in the US, without a way to clean up the mess once it happens. This is truly insanity. What's worse, there are very few voices rising to oppose it.
Please pass along to anyone who might care. I typically don't get fired up over political issues but this one is moving forward in a kind of stealth mode under the direction of the big companies to get it through and shoved down our throats.
Thanks again for taking the time to respond.

The problem is that most people don't know how to find the real facts on issues like this. I myself must admit to my ignorance here. I know next to nothing about hydraulic fracturing. I would love to see the energy industry investing more money into researching ways to use less energy instead of producing more of it.
What if we declared a national "lights out day" and all 300,000,000 Americans planned to go without power for a day? That would address issues like this right at the root by reducing the demand for energy production. I think there is plenty that can be done about a lot of issues on the grassroots level that don't require the government to pass or repeal any laws.
Thanks for posting this...good information.
