According to Brad Gill, Executive Director, Independent Oil and Gas Association of New York... "natural gas is a clean, abundant and affordable fuel. Increasing production here in New York will help improve our economy, increase tax revenues and jobs, and bring our nation closer to energy independence." "When you think about 1.3 million wells across the nation [that] have been fracked, [with] about 900,000 producing today, you can name several incidents that aren't true contamination but [simply] methane-charged water." But what do the people who are drinking methane-charged water have to say? "I wish that they had never come, obviously. We had peace and tranquility before... and it's just been an absolute living hell." Resident of Dimock, Pennsylvania Since 2008, over 4,000 gas wells have been drilled in Pennsylvania. Farmers in southwestern PA blame cattle deaths and mutations on local hydraulic fracturing. Other community complaints include tainted water, children getting sick, skin rashes, and neurological disorders. "For the rest of my life I'm going to be living in fear of having that well there." Resident of Dimock, Pennsylvania Natural gas drilling in the Marcellus Shale in Dimock has released methane into the water supply, drinking water wells have exploded, and others were found to contain so much gas that one homeowner was told to open a window if he planned to take a bath. "There has to be hope, because this is too crazy to let happen." Resident of Dimock, Pennsylvania In three (3) separate spills at the Heitsman well in a rural area just south of Montrose, PA about 8,000 gallons of a carcinogenic chemical -- used to ease resistance in gas well production -- polluted a wetland and caused a fish kill in Stevens Creek. The chemical, LGC-35 CBM, is manufactured by Halliburton. It dissolves in water (making cleanup extremely difficult), has led to skin cancer in animals and "may cause headache, dizziness and other central nervous system effects" to anyone who breathes or swallows it according to the Material Safety Data Sheets for LGC-35 CBM. For slick water, high-volume hydrofracking, it is estimated that with each fracking, 2 to 9 million gallons of fresh water are used. About half of the frac fluid remains in the ground, while the other 1,000,000 to 4,000,000 gallons comes back up out of the well along with thousands of gallons of toxic chemicals and radioactive matter known as "produced water." The United States Department of Energy considers the waste water from hydraulic fracturing to be one of the most toxic industrial byproducts of the gas and oil industry. WE CAN IMPROVE OUR ECONOMY, INCREASE TAX REVENUES, AND CREATE JOBS WITH ABUNDANT, AFFORDABLE, CLEAN RENEWABLE ENERGY Hey Brad Gill... that's TRUE ENERGY INDEPENDENCE!

Another live performance from the first GBG show on Nuit Blanche. http://jefftheworld.com

A work in progress song I did for Nuit Blanche. http://jefftheworld.com

This is my rendition of the ubiquitous "Sabrepulse Tutorial". It's called up because I made this when my friends dragged to watch that movie and I was bored. http://jefftheworld.com

I was roped into doing one song with ChrunchyCo/Lo-Tek Resistance. Was a lot of fun, even though the song was in fairly rough shape. Got some footage of the other guys playing as well. that's going to be in an upcoming video. Check them out here: http://www.crunchyco.com And the Lo-Tek videos here: http://www.crunchyco.com/films/lotek.html http://jefftheworld.com

The Game Boy Guerrillas (jefftheworld, Eastern Blok & deadbeatblast) rip up Nuit Blanche with some awesome chiptune music. Thanks to everyone in Toronto who came by! ***** Two songs appear in this video which were created by artists who could not attend, but were graciously given to us to play: Ultrasyd's Lost in Fractal Dimension & Beware's Mobius Strip ***** http://gameboyguerrillas.com http://jefftheworld.com http://deadbeatblast.com http://myspace.com/djeasternblok

Some studies suggest that over the course of our lives "most people spend only 4% - 5% of their time outdoors." Yikes! So just in case this sad statistic applies to us (what exactly?)... Green Guerrillas Youth Media Tech Collective defied these odds during Summer 2009 by engaging with our local landscape to improve our cinematography skills. We are equipping ourselves to film and photograph our next project... so, in the spirit of self-determination, liberation, and celebration of the natural world, Green Guerrillas started year #4 zooming in on the ducks and wild berries near Six Mile Creek; playing Eagle Eye in a wild flower preserve to re-awaken our overall sense of awareness too often dampened by video games and text messages (watch yo mouth!); growing together as a unified collective; increasing our critical environmental and social consciousness; and, deepening our love and respect for Our Mother, the Earth. We GIVE THANKS that we have the unique opportunity to expand our connection to the natural world as we further develop our sense of self... enjoy!
