BBC program on gas drilling in western Colorado
BBC World News, with approximately 350 million viewers around the globe, featured a story about the impacts of the gas boom on life in Garfield County. The program highlights the threats to water, air and public health that gas drilling poses to nearby residents. The video also features a performance by local musicians of the song "Encana Bluegrass Blues."
