I watched the movie Promised Land. Which is all about a natural gas company called Global Crosspower Solutions which is trying to get the people of a small town in Pennsylvania. Global wanted to start drilling there because the town is very poor so they would accept almost any offer Global hands them.
*Spoiler*
Later on in the story the town decides that they should put the question if they should let Global actually come and start fracking (a way of gathering natural gas from shale.) to a vote. Which makes Global send a fake enviromental person who told a sob story about his farm that had pretty much died, but the whole thing was a lie and he left in "shame".
*End of Spoiler*
At the end of the movie the town has all the information they need and go to vote, but we don't actually see what they voted, but if I was in that town I would say that Global should come and start fracking.
I would say yes to the fracking because it has more pros. then cons. especially in that scenario.
