A while back, a movie came out showing the perils of fracking for natural gas:

The footage at 2:25 made me shit my pants. Fucking fire from your faucet? Shit, the most conservative person out there wouldn't want that going on.
This morning I saw a link to a another movie called FrackNation. The journalist in FrackNation asked the director of Gasland, Josh Fox, if the flaming faucets were happening before fracking started. His reply was, "Yes, but it's not relevant". Huh? So these people live in an area where there was so much fucking natural gas that it was coming out of the ground before fracking started, and it's not relevant? I'd say it's relevant enough to make his movie irrelevant.

To me this seems to be a case where a doogooder wanted to make a name for himself as a environmental crusader with out regard for finding the truth. I wonder if Al Gore was his inspiration? He won an award at the Sundance Film Festival, of course.
