The Promised Land

General Mineral Rights Discussion

Just curious - has anyone seen the movie "The Promised Land" with Matt Damon - just recenlty released. Many of the questions/comments in the movie reflect the discussion language here. It was not an uplifting scenio on land leasing/mineral rights etc. Your thoughts?

I haven't seen the movie but remember that... it's just a movie. Movies have been a vehicle to push political agendas before and this one is probably no different. Plus it is a movie... a lot of dramatization has been known to happen in a few of them.

Here is the URL to an excellent essay about fracking. The article also discusses a documentary that was financed through contributions to kickstarter.com.

FrackNation will be shown on Mark Cuban's cable station AXS TV on January 22nd at 9 pm EST.

The essay also cites a report from New York state that was suppressed during the last election about the safety of fracking.
