Saturday Documentary July 7, 2012 "The Sky is Pink"

An emergency short film from Josh Fox, the Oscar-nominated director of Gasland addressing the urgent crisis of drilling and fracking in New York state.
Induced hydraulic fracturing or hydrofracking, commonly known as fracking, is a technique used to release petroleum, natural gas (including shale gas, tight gas and coal seam gas), or other substances for extraction.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is weighing a proposal to allow fracking in several communities in New York State.
Residents are deeply divided over the controversial drilling method. Supporters of fracking say it would give a much-needed financial boost to the affected communities. Those against it argue that the health and environmental risks far outweigh the rewards.
 The Sky is Pink
 Not a long documentary today, but a good and important one.
Enjoy!
