AP: Gasland' sequel asserts drillers corrupting gov't
‘‘We want the president to watch the movie, and we want him to meet with the people who are in it,’’ says Fox, whose ‘‘Gasland Part II’’ makes its HBO debut Monday.
He contends President Barack Obama’s professed support of drilling and fracking for natural gas ignores the environmental and public health toll of the drilling boom: ‘‘It looks like he’s really sincere and earnest in his desire to take on climate change, but he’s got the completely wrong information and thus the completely wrong plan.’’
A typically bold statement from Fox, who’s emerged as one of the nation’s most visible and outspoken foes of the natural gas drilling industry. MORE
