"Fracking Films Reflect Twists in Drilling Debate" [1]

"PITTSBURGH -- The boom in natural gas drilling has cast two opposing documentary filmmakers in unlikely roles."



"Josh Fox, a liberal environmental activist, finds himself at odds with President Barack Obama. Phelim McAleer, a free-market conservative, is echoing the Democratic president's support for natural gas.

The two don't see eye-to-eye on much of anything, especially each other."

Kevin Begos reports for the Associated Press July 22, 2013. [2]
