"Gasland" scares me more than nuclear meltdown

Okay. Nukes are risky. Fossil fuels are risky too, just not as dramatically, in the short term.

I wonder why, when "Gasland" the movie came out that there was no 24/7 coverage of the fact that we are mindlessly polluting America, with the process already well along.

Oh, and Senate 1215, the minimalist attempt to do something, the "Fracturing Responsibility and Awareness of Chemicals (FRAC) Act"?


Totally failed.

So far as I know, it's still completely legal, since Bush-Cheney '05, to pollute at will, with known carcinogens and with impunity, in violation of the spirit of the Clean Water Act.
