FrackNation Page #9

Synopsis: FrackNation follows journalist Phelim McAleer as he faces gun threats, malicious 911 calls and bogus lawsuits when questioning green extremists for the truth about fracking. Fracking is going to make America one of the world's leading energy producers and has become the target of a concerted campaign by environmentalists who want it banned. In FrackNation McAleer travels across the USA and Europe to uncover the science suppressed by environmental activists and ignored by much of the media. He talks with scientists and ordinary Americans who live in fracking areas and who tell him the truth behind the exaggerations and misrepresentations of anti-fracking activists.

never come true.

Energy has allowed my friend Bart

to save his childhood friend's life.

Bart donated his kidney to Linc

in an operation that used outrageous

amounts of electricity.

That electricity, that energy,

and Bart's astonishing generosity,

saved Linc from certain death

and gave Claire and Lucy

back their father

and Laurie back her husband.

Energy matters.

It really matters.

It makes everything better.

It's not at all ordinary.

We take it for granted because we

have never known life without it.

We really shouldn't.

This has been quite a journey.

I discovered a lot.

Josh Fox was wrong

about fracking.

It didn't make water flammable.

It's not exempt from

environmental regulations.

It doesn't contaminate water.

Fracking is not causing

dangerous earthquakes,

and it's not causing

widespread illness and death.

All those wrongs affected the lives

of a lot of ordinary people.

I thought it was time to put

some questions to Josh Fox.

- Hello?

- Hi, is that Josh?

- Yes.

- Hi, Josh, this is

Phelim McAleer, the director

of FrackNation documentary.

Hello?

Hey, this is Josh Fox.

Please leave me a message.

Thanks very much. Bye.

Hi, Josh, this is Phelim McAleer,

the director of FrackNation.

I have just tried

to call you there

and I'm not sure what happened.

I think maybe you hung up on me,

but I really want to do an interview

with you for FrackNation.

I've uncovered some things that...

I left a number of messages.

I got no response.

He seemed to want

to avoid my questions.

But then I heard Josh Fox

was appearing

at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles.

This was going to be my chance

to get some answers.

Josh, Phelim McAleer.

You hung up on me the other day.

There's a lot of questions

I've come across.

I'm just looking for an interview.

You don't want to answer questions?

The farmers of

Pennsylvania would like

to also ask you some questions.

As a journalist, would you

not be interested

in answering a few questions?

Hey, what are you doing?

What are you doing?

I'm gonna ask you to

please leave the property.

You are asked to leave.

You are asked to leave.

Josh, what about the water in Dimock?

Ls the water clean in Dimock?

There's blood.

She stole it. She stole

the phone from my hand.

Like she just... I had to fight her

to get my phone back.

She did that to you?

Yeah, she snatched

the phone from my hand.

I had to fight her

to get my phone back.

She took it from you?

Yeah, because I was filming

a public event in Hammer Museum.

And that's the wound!

So there is, you know,

there will be blood!

- There will be blood.

- Yeah.
