ABOUT THIS EPISODE
With the ever-growing threat of climate change, one of the most difficult environmental issues politicians have to deal with is fracking. Fracking, a form of natural resource extraction, causes clear environmental damage yet is an economic backbone for many places around the country.

Daniel Raimi, a Senior Research Associate at Resources for the Future and author of The Fracking Debate, joins us to dive into the world of fracking and how it will change going into the future.
