Mass Energy will be hosting a discussion and a screening of the documentary "Gasland" on June 13 at Northeastern University. If you want to join an intelligent discussion on the role of natural gas in our lives, this is a great event to come to. The documentary itself, "Gasland," outlines the fracking issue—-very riveting.
