    Oil spills after oil spills are ruining the eco system today. But what this is something that we cannot live without.

    I think it is unconscionable for a judge who has invested so much money in oil exploration stocks and ventures to rule on a case involving oil exploration and ventures. I echo your sentiments!! Lisa

    The director's name is Josh, not Joel!

    In any case, shortly before the movie aired on HBO, the organization "Energy In Depth" issued a "Gasland Debunked" article to discredit the film and its director, which does not address many of the facts.

    An inquiry into who was handling the PR for Energy in Depth was detailed here:

    I was linked to Energy in Depth on Twitter by an organization called CNG Now, approximately ten minutes after I had tweeted about Gasland. Whoever was controlling the CNG Now account was searching those tweeting about Gasland and subsequently sending them the link to the Debunking article. When I asked CNG Now who funds them, they replied they were mostly funded by Chesapeake Energy, the second largest natural gas producer in the US.

    Apparently Energy in Depth has also been editing the commentary below the debunking article such that it only reflects supportive comments.

    Spin doctors hard at work.
