GASLAND II 

The sequel to "GASLAND," this film not only continues to explore the damage to our nation from the practice of drilling for natural gas using horizontal hydrofracking, but also includes interviews with scientific experts about why fracking can never be done safely and the economic and technical capacity for renewable energy resources that are readily available eliminating the need for further drilling for dirty fossil fuels: coal, oil and natural gas.  The film sheds light on the biggest concern that " the enormously powerful oil and gas industry has not only contaminated our water, air and land, but also our democracy".

Gasland Film Screening, Wednesday, Sept 15, Bedford

 GASLAND

ASSEMBLYMAN CASTELLI TO

 HOST INFORMATIVE FILM ON GAS DRILLING

AND THE DANGERS OF HYDROFRACKING

 

Assemblyman Robert J. Castelli (R, C, I-Goldens Bridge) is hosting a viewing of “Gasland,” a documentary about the natural gas industry on Wednesday, September 15^th in the courtroom at Bedford Town Hall. Prior to the screening, Assemblyman Castelli will be joined by speakers from the Sierra Club and Citizens Campaign for the Environment.

Assemblyman Castelli noted the documentary reveals the consequences of natural gas drilling across the United States.  Much of the recent expansion of drilling has been spurred by the increase in deep well hydrofracking, a practice that threatens to open up the Marcellus Shale in central New York to large-scale industrial drilling practices.

Assemblyman Castelli is hosting the film to inform the public about some of the impacts that hydrofracking may bring to New York’s communities and all those interested in attending are encouraged to RSVP.

WHAT:           Screening of the documentary “Gasland”

WHEN:           September 15^th  

                        Promptly at 6:00 p.m.
