38. Explain what the trade-off is. Do you believe this is a good trade? Natural gas is often described as a “transition fuel” and a cleaner-burning fossil fuel. Explain how these claims are incomplete. Given what you learned from this movie, is natural gas a fuel that we should explore and extract more of?
No, because it can harm people. The claims are incomplete because they don't say that natural gases are harmful also. No we shouldn't explore more natural gas because the more gases, the more harm it can cause to the living organisms around them.
39. Do you think this law is fair and justified? Why might the gas drilling companies oppose this law? Explain your answer.
I think that the law is fair&justified, because fracking contaminates water and the SDW Act is used to regulate and to protect from water that is polluted and contaminated. Companies is if the people know that there if lot of chemicals in use, the people might reconsider and decide not to lease because they are afraid that the chemicals might harm them.
40. How would contamination of the water supply have consequences for the entire eastern part of the state, including Philadelphia?
The contaminated water could flow down the rivers. The rivers that flow East bring the contaminated water to the East.
No, because it can harm people. The claims are incomplete because they don't say that natural gases are harmful also. No we shouldn't explore more natural gas because the more gases, the more harm it can cause to the living organisms around them.

41.Briefly describe their statement on the following:
The Weld County Wells: The water supply of Mike Markham, Renee McClure, Aimee Ellsworth that was allegedly said to have been contaminated by fracking, actually biogenic gas. And it came from fracking.
The West Divide Creek Seeps: Gasland claimed that the West Divide Creek Seeps were caused by hydraulic fracking. The gas migrating up a gas well borehole that wasn't properly cemented. The gas collected from the seep was concluded to be thermogenic.
42. If you owned a large parcel of land in the shale area, and were offered several thousand dollars per acre to lease the land for gas drilling, would you take the money? Explain your decision.
No, because I don't want my waters to be contaminated. I don't want to see my family members suffering from decisions that I choose.
The movie is about Josh Fox traveling around Eastern US to find out what happens to the people and the daily lives of people because of fracking. He went to places such as Texas, Wyoming and Texas. He find that what type of harm it does to people and animals drinking the contaminated water. He find out what types of chemicals were in the contaminated water and ended with saying that this is land for the public, and it shouldn't be used for private uses like fracking.
