Pete Hoekstra tries to clear up stance on Great Lakes drilling

At the town hall, the moderator asked a question about drilling for oil and gas in Alaska, a proposal the three GOP candidates -- Hoekstra, American Family Association of Michigan President Gary Glenn and charter school founder Clark Durant -- supported as a way to make the U.S. more energy independent.
Then the moderator asked about the Great Lakes.
"I would not support putting a well in the lake," Hoekstra answered.
"I would support the new technology now that allows you to drill, you know, onshore, drill down, and drill -- I'm a marketing guy -- and then drill sideways. Laterally."
