The Fracking Song: "My Water's On Fire Tonight"
Video Link, more about the project here. And read the investigative report that inspired this video "explainer" at ProPublica (* warning, major bummer alert). A snip from the lyrics: Fracking is a form of natural gas drilling An alternative to oil cause the oil kept spilling Bringing jobs to small towns so everybody's willing People turn on their lights and the drillers make a killing Water goes into the pipe, the pipe into the ground The pressure creates fissures 7,000 feet down The cracks release the gas that powers your town That well is fracked..... Yeah totally fracked But there's more in the water than just H2O With names like benzene and formaldehyde You better keep 'em far away from the water supply "My Water's On Fire Tonight" is a product of Studio 20 NYU in collaboration with ProPublica.org. The song is based on ProPublica's investigation on hydraulic fractured gas drilling. Music by David Holmes and Andrew Bean, vocals by David Holmes and Niel Bekker, animation by Adam Sakellarides and Lisa Rucker. (via Jay Rosen)...
