I think it was Michael Medved who described “Promised Land” as the “China Syndrome of Fracking”, a movie designed to make people terrified of an energy source.
I happen to live in an area where the sand used in the fracking process is removed from the landscape and shipped to the drilling sites. While many land owners and the community do benefit from the sale and eventual mining process, the sand mining process needs a closer look. Considering the entire process involved with fracking, the sand mining does indeed make a MAJOR change to the landscape, some good and some not so good. I invite ANYONE wanting to learn more about frack sand mining to look into that mining process before commenting about “fracking”. Get educated.
