Tonight at 9pm Eastern, HBO will air the anti-natural gas industry documentary entitled "GasLand." IPAA and the industry's coalition group, Energy in Depth, have gone to great lengths to educate policymakers and the media about the deceitful nature of this film.
After months of researching the movie and following its screenings nationwide, IPAA and Energy In Depth have launched a major communications campaign to expose the film's inaccuracies. One tactic in this campaign is a truth vs. fiction fact sheet ("GasLand Debunked") that has been broadly distributed to congressional offices, state legislatures, industry, allied groups, interested parties and news media. I'd like to thank the companies and industry groups that are using this material and crediting this effort.
A copy of "GasLand Debunked" can be viewed here. And you can always receive updates through the Energy in Depth website.
Our team has contacted a number of people associated with HBO over the past two weeks, and we were told our that our request specifically, that it run a simple disclaimer letting viewers know that the veracity of the film is in question -- was under consideration. But the Joint Landowners Coalition of New York, with which EID continues to work very closely, reports that "HBO will now air a disclaimer stating there is not scientific data for the claims." We have not yet confirmed that with the network.
To stir up controversy over this film, HBO's publicity team is now handling the press and booking for the film, which explains the significant uptick in news media reports about it over the past two weeks. And tonight, the director Josh Fox will be on Jon Stewart's The Daily Show.
IPAA and Energy in Depth remain at the forefront of shedding light on these unfair, inaccurate portrayals of the natural gas industry, and we will keep you updated on any significant developments with this documentary. I thought you might like to see some of these news articles below. Thank you for your support.
