She went to southwest louisiana, following republican and tea party candidates as they went through the state. She was very open about her being a retired berkeley professor. Was in a county that was in the 2% most polluted in the country (2nd highest cancer death rate) People were hearing strange noises, their lawns started sinking, etc. Methane gas started bubbling out of the ground. A sinkhole formed and 36 square hectares of pristine water forest turned into methane sludge. All because of texas grine company that had been drilling for supersalts and went too far (very under regulated company) Started with a red state paradox and ended with a blue state paradox.
