The "flaming faucet" that was featured in Gasland is just a few miles down the road. Our farmers take a distant back seat to frackers at water auctions. Those of us who have very real concerns are routinely dismissed by our city councils or shouted down by county commissioners who spend their time fellating big oil/gas. It's damned horrific - and very telling - that some of the most in-depth reportage on the subject is done by foreign press.
