One is made by a bloke with donations (dogwoof the film distributor is hardly flush with cash) the other is made with the support of a billion dollar industry with vested interest.

I haven't got a problem with vested interest, but the trustlands 'reply' film doesnt actually disprove anything gaslands says, it simply tries to muddy the water.

There has been no critique film of trustlands as that's not what the anti fracking movement is about, they have the evidence and facts, the problem they have is getting the information across.

Can you imagine if the town of Accrington was in the same position of hundreds out towns across America where the people have had fresh running tap water for years, they start fracking near by and now the government is delivering water to the population to drink and cook with because the tap water is no longer safe.

Until they can ensure fracking is relatively safe (the same way nuclear is relatively safe IMO) then it shouldn't be allowed to progress..
The technology and techniques are still developing, waiting a few years for further safeguards is a small price to pay than the public having to pay a far bigger fee to put right the potential mess current fracking company's are causing around the world.
