How ‘Natural’ Is Natural Gas?  TV Interview 3/9/10
 


Will natural gas solve our energy problems?
The oil and gas industry has been making their case
that natural gas is a clean alternative to fossil fuels,
that it will reduce our dependency on foreign oil,
and create jobs.
What the industry doesn’t mention is
the highly controversial practice
required to extract the oil known as hydraulic fracturing.
Today, filmmaker Josh Fox,
Earth Justice Senior Attorney Deborah Goldberg,
Sabrina Artel,
Host and Producer of Trailertalk,
and Natural Resources Defense Council Attorney Kate Sinding
on why hydraulic fracturing poses a real threat to water supplies
in the United States and the New York city watershed in particular.
