Fracking has brought about a energy surge in the US that has created thousands of US JOBS and even though the EPA tried to claim it was bad for the enviroment, they couldn't prove it. So now Hollywood/Matt Damon is making a movie on Fracking and guess who is funding the movie. :?
The third largest oil exporting country in the World is funding a US movie trying to make Fracking look bad. Gee I wonder WHY? Does Liberal Left Obama Supporter Matt Damon really hate US jobs that much that he would take money from a GREEDY FOREIGN OIL PRODUCING COUNTRY to fund his efforts to DESTROY US JOBS? :roll:

Matt Damon's new fracking film is generating controversy over its funding.
Matt Damon's new film on fracking, "Promised Land", is generating some buzz -- though probably not the kind studio execs were hoping for.
Last week, the conservative think tank Heritage Foundation pointed out that in the trailer for film, one of the financial backers listed is Image Nation Abu Dhabi.
Image Nation Abu Dhabi is, in turn, owned by Abu Dhabi Media - a state media company for the United Arab Emirates. The UAE, an OPEC member, is the world's third-largest oil exporter.
