Looking for the Truth About Natural Gas Drilling

The Leonard Lopate Show | Jan 12, 2015

Filmmaker Josh Fox discusses climate change, fracking, and the state of the environment today. “Gasland Part II,” Fox’s follow-up to his Oscar-nominated documentary “Gasland,” uncovers the myth of natural gas being clean and safe, one pushed by the gas industry. In it, Fox investigates drilled wells that inevitably leak over time, contaminating water and air, hurting families, and endangering the earth's climate with the potent greenhouse gas, methane. Fox will also talk about his Solutions Grassroots Tour, a series of theater, film, and music events designed to give communities the tools and resources to build their own renewable energy.
