Yes, Government is the cause of the messes in the first place.
Clinton put the oil drilling in deep water, with very little restrictions.
Allowing someone to drill in your back yard, doesn't make you responsible for the cleanup or the mess to begin with. Put the blame squarely on the shoulders on the gas Co's. The govn't is responsible for enforcing the regulations that are in place and this is where they can be responsible for their share of the blame.
sure...it's bias, but do you really expect the film "GasLand" to be unbias?
if you're willing to do some legwork, you can run your own fact check, based on the link I provided...if you find some inaccuracies, by all means, expose them!
I am not experienced enough to run a check on the info provided, nor do I have the time. But I am sure there are people who are. Gasland was created by someone who has nothing to gain in all of this. So whats your point?

the "clean up and mess" is stated clearly in every Oil and Gas Lease...you're correct, the Oil and Gas Companies are responsible for the clean up, and they do so very well...this is all stated up front and before any drilling takes place.

So you tell them where to drill in your backyard and never tell them how.
Your backyard is going to be abused. They lived up to there contract. Seems the government inspectors, dropped the ball.
PBS is mostly funded by individual contributers and corporations. Nice try.
Mostly? Maybe when it first started. Actually the "Mostly" has been placed on our tax dollars, since funding of PBS is way down, with the government paying the majority of the bill. Wasn't there recent news of shutting down PBS for lack of funding?
Do you really expect the link you provide to be unbias?
How about this link? The Joint Landowners Coalition of New York, Inc is also aggresively opposing the movie for its inaccurate portral of the industry and its practices.
DEBUNKING GasLand THE MOVIE (http://www.jlcny.org/site/index.php/news/latest-news-articles/192?limitstart=0 - broken link)
AFIK PBS is still mostly funded by private contributions and charitable organizations.
We should have communications channels (TV, Cable TV, AM & FM Radio and Internet Websites) completely independent of all private and commercial funding and dedicated to investigating anything of a suspicious nature in both the private and government sectors with an emphasis on collusion between the two.
Corporate funding = commercial bias = Business propaganda
Government funding = no bias = accurate reporting
Governments may be inept but the private sector is inimical.

Yea, and what about the contminated well water and faucets catching on fire.
Doesn't really matter what I think. BP is a bad corporation.
