Overwhelming evidence now exists that the Halliburton's gas drilling process proposed for our area causes contaminated drinking water, carcinogens in the farmland and food chain, torn-up roads, risk of explosions, toxic air pollution, plummeting real estate values, and screeching noise pollution.

At the time of the filming, gas drilling had just barely edged into the city limits of Fort Worth although we knew it was coming fast. Today there are almost 2,000 gas wells in the city and located in every neighborhood. (There are over 15,000 in the north Texas region). Additionally, the City of FW zoning ordinance was suspended for gas drilling. Industry folks were recently quoted as saying that only 15% of the planned gas wells have been drilled.
