The advocacy site DrillingIsntSafe.org argues that hydraulic fracturing poses documented risks of drinking water contamination, air pollution, and chemical exposure, citing the 2010 documentary Gasland by Josh Fox as a catalyst for national awareness. The site critiques Energy in Depth—funded by the American Petroleum Institute—for attempting to counter the film’s claims, framing the public debate over fracking as a clash between industry public relations efforts and citizen-driven environmental accountability.
