This week, Dr. Jay Lehr and Tom Harris are joined by the outstanding science and technology communicator Mark Mathis to discuss hydraulic fracturing, easily the most important energy advance of the past two decades. Mark has spent most of his career challenging widely accepted ideas that are simply untrue, his latest product being “Fractured,” a superb 90-minute film about hydraulic fracturing.
As demonstrated in both the film (available at https://clearenergyalliance.com/documentaries/) and this interview, Mark excels at making complex energy topics understandable and interesting for the general public.
Join Jay, Tom, and guest Mark Mathis in this week’s episode of The Other Side of the Story to learn what environmental activists and their allies in mainstream media and government don’t want you to know about the amazing technology of hydraulic fracturing. It has made America the world’s largest oil producer and, for the first time since 1952, helped the U.S became a net total energy exporter, thereby making a major contribution to our national security.
