sure, add the water testing and if you find out that your,, and possibly your neighbors water has been ruined, well, then it's to late..... I personally thought Gas Land was a very well done documentary, and I am sure that those cases of peoples lives being ruined either from sickness, water issues, air quality are few and far between, but IMO,, one case is too many, so I say get rid of the Halliburton loop hole, expose to everyone the exact content in that fracking juice, regulate the process and protect the people, wildlife and land around these wells. I respect your land owners rights and we need alternative sources of energy and our tremendous wealth of natural gas is great, but let's do this right, profits are great but not at the expense of people, wildlife and the environment......... so while I am on my way to San Francisco in my VW micro bus, picking my banjo, sipping on my kool-aid and selling my hippie propaganda BS I hope that I can stop by the road in your beautiful state and take a deep breath of clean air and have a cool drink of clean water....
Thanks again

Steve,
Quit drinking the kool-aid and stop trying to sell it here. Gasland is a load of BS and if you believe that crap you might as well assume Oliver Stone is a historian and not a film maker. The facts in Gasland have been completely refuted by several government organizations. See here for the response from the COGCC:

If you want to sell that hippie propaganda, I suggest you grab your banjo and hop in a VW bus en route to San Fran. The people here are hard working Americans that want to see their energy produced, purchased and used from and in the USA. Isn't that better than giving it to the America hating countries to the east?
If anyone is concerned about their water, add a water well testing provision to your lease. If you don't trust the operator, call the COGCC. They will test it for you for free. Yes...free!
In closing, I would like to say God bless the USA which is the ONLY country in the world that minerals can be owned by private everyday Joes like you and me. That's a fact.
