Frank Chernega tells Natural Gas NOW readers Josh Fox uses Gasland Part II to push renewable energy, but fails to take advantage of his home's southern roof exposure for a solar array that would heat his water and his home, demonstrating the double-standard so typical of the natural gas opposition.

"I attended a premier showing of Gasland Part II at the West Middle School in Binghamton, New York, on June 5 to see what Josh Fox had concocted this time around. At the beginning of the movie, he shows a low altitude view of the top of his home (actually his father's home) and surrounding lawn in Milanville, Pennsylvania and towards the end of the movie he does it again. It is an interesting shot apparently intended to reinforce the idea he's just a good old Pennsylvania boy, although Fox actually grew up in Manhattan. What was interesting to me, however, is what I didn't see.

Towards the latter part of the movie, Fox has a “professor” from Stanford University make the absurd claim that we could supply all of our energy needs (electricity AND heat…LOL!) with wind, hydro, and solar. He then makes mention of climate change and again alludes to wind, solar, and hydro being able satisfy our needs, stating that fossil fuel use should be eliminated. This suggested to me Fox would maximize his own use of renewables, putting a solar array on that southern facing roof his father's house has. Here's what it looks like on Bing Maps. Just like the shot in the movie, it shows no solar array."
