Visit our FB Page:   / thehighcostofcheapgas   Help make sure that South Africa learns from the lessons of communities in the United States about living with Hydraulic Fracturing. This is a short version of a documentary currently in production about the long term cost of natural gas development in Southern Africa. This film uncovers the real and sometimes hidden long-term costs of natural gas development within the social, political and environmental context of Southern Africa. Natural gas development is on the cards for one of the most pristine and diverse environments on Earth. The Karoo and Kalahari deserts of Southern Africa are on the verge of opening up vast areas of these delicate and ancient ecosystems for full scale natural gas extraction. Big international businesses are selling these developments to governments as safe and clean job creation opportunities under the guise of addressing poverty and unemployment.
