Sierra Club is one of the most vocal and powerful environmental
conservation groups in the country and has been committed to fighting for effective natural gas regulation in the face of the massive and barely controlled rush, including fighting to keep the oil and gas industry out of areas where drilling and production poses unacceptable risks. To learn more about their efforts, go here and get news, views, and ways to connect with other concerned citizens. If you want to involve yourself with central Pennsylvania's chapter, go the Moshannon branch of the Sierra Club's website here. Their members are hosting free screenings of Gasland in the coming couple of weeks.Check your local listings to tune in to 60 Minutes this Sunday.
I think the question of saftey will come up but if they ask someone from the seirra club about the danger of hydro fracturing it will be the same as asking a hungy lion to watch your steak sandwhich. In any case the commercial they are running seems to show gas drilling as Americas sorce of fuel independence. If they turn this into a pollution matter I certianly hope they get blasted from the science communnity
