Go, Josh, Go!
Fox spoke at a news conference with actor Mark Ruffalo, another Oscar nominee, and three Democratic House lawmakers who support legislation that would apply the Safe Water Drinking Act to hydraulic fracturing because it injects a mixture of water, sand and chemicals deep into the ground.
"My experience is that anyone who isn't an ideologue and has a family, they don't want to be living next to a poison well," said Ruffalo, who moved to Sullivan County two years ago. "They don't want to have poison water. And that crosses all political spectrums. That's partially why I am here. I feel like we are divided enough. And I don't want to divide people. This is a subject that I think is a uniting subject."
The overwhelming vote by the New York State Senate in December supporting a statewide drilling moratorium shows that the issue can be bipartisan, Ruffalo said.
