2016 FILM
DEAR PRESIDENT OBAMA
THE CLEAN ENERGY REVOLUTION IS NOW
“Dear President Obama: The Clean Energy Revolution is Now” is a direct appeal to the President – and to all elected officials – to carefully consider the growing evidence proving that hydraulic fracturing for oil and gas is hardly the path to energy independence that many promote.
DEAR PRESIDENT OBAMA
