#energyswitch #switchon
Join Dr. Naomi Boness and Rachel Fakhry as they discuss the impacts of hydraulic fracturing (fracking).
This video is an excerpt of the popular point-counterpoint climate and energy talk show, Energy Switch, shown on PBS to over 100,000,000 households in the US. In each episode, experts from opposing sides engage in civil discussion about various climate and energy topics.
This video features Energy Switch Season 1, Episode 2 - "The Future of Natural Gas."
Hydraulic fracturing made gas abundant, which made it cheap. This allowed gas to replace coal in our power sector. Though gas has lower carbon emissions, it’s still not carbon free. Dr. Naomi Boness, Managing Director of the Natural Gas Initiative at Stanford University and Rachel Fakhry, Analyst for the Climate & Clean Air programs at the National Resources Defense Council, discuss.
