Gasland, Josh Fox. Check it out on Netflix. and here's a paper I wrote on hydrofracking for my Intro to Public Policy class Fall 2012.

I actually found that it became increasingly difficult to research the topic because the further I went I uncovered more instances of corruption and failure of any governments to protect American citizens from the mounting terror and thoughtless atrocity of hydrofracking.

Next Ai Wei Wei is the shit and everyone should check out the documentary on Netflix. Here's a free downloadable piece from his website to celebrate the Chinese New Year.


In Pursuit of Happiness
