Sabrina Artel on GRITtv
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.
GRITtv producer, Laura Flanders, speaks with Trailer Talk's Sabrina Artel along with filmmaker Josh Fox, EarthJustice Managing Attorney Deborah Goldberg, 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.
GRITtv with Laura Flanders airs Mon-Thurs, at 8pm & 1 am ET, on Free Speech TV (DISH Network ch. 9415), on public stations and online at www.grittv.org and www.firedoglake.com/lauraflanders |
