Review of Promised Land (2012) by Frank P — 29 Dec 2012
Completely accurate portrayal of landmen, EXCEPT, I have never met one who chose complete disclosure over money, THEIR money. The cows are real, look them up, the water contamination is real, look it up.
We can't drill for more water. Once it's gone, it's gone, billions of gallons of drinking, and water for crops. You can't fix the air. Natural gas may burn cleaner, but the extraction process is way dirtier and full of chemicals, not a better answer.
In Texas they put the extraction on top of schools, churches, hospitals, nursing homes, 20"+ pipelines just feet from our doorsteps. I could go on, and on. The industry wants to drill to export because they are drilling at a loss now.
They are going to bash this movie as much as they can. I've lived it, I'm living IN it I've said no. Go see it.
