Podcasts about fracking

Guests Mike Hightower, director of the New Mexico Produced Water Consortium, and Jonas Armstrong, director of New Mexico's Environmental Water Protection Division, discuss the state's innovative produced water project, which treats contaminated groundwater from oil fracking and converts it into clean, usable water. Jonas explains his team's role in sampling, analysis, and updating Source Water Assessments to identify and mitigate contamination risks, while Mike outlines the fracking process and highlights partnerships working to turn produced water into a community resource. They also explore current treatment technologies—such as carbon filtration—and the challenges of filter disposal, emphasizing the need for continued innovation in sustainable water management.

As a backlash against LGBTQ rights escalates into an authoritarian crusade, acclaimed author and queer activist Taylor Brorby asks how we can still be fighting this battle? As a writer addressing the fossil fuel industry's acceleration in the midst of climate chaos, Taylor is forced to choose between the existential crises of the assaults on nature and on LGBTQ people. It's all connected, he says, as he seeks to reconcile nature, culture, diversity and belonging. Featuring Taylor Brorby, a Fellow in Environmental Humanities and Environmental Justice at the Tanner Humanities Center at the University of Utah, is an award-winning, widely published writer and poet as well as a contributing editor at North American Review who also serves on the editorial boards of Terrain.org and Hub City Press. Taylor regularly speaks around the country on issues related to extractive economies, queerness, disability, and climate change, and is the author of Boys and Oil: Growing up gay in a fractured land; Crude: Poems; Coming Alive: Action and Civil Disobedience; and co-editor of Fracture: Essays, Poems, and Stories on Fracking in America.

Perché l'energia geotermica è così poco sviluppata? Paesi vulcanici come l'Italia, in particolare, hanno un sottosuolo che offre condizioni ideali, ma su questa fonte ci sono poche aspettative. Perché? Il principale problema della geotermia tradizionale è che necessita sia di calore che di acqua, e il rischio di non trovare abbastanza dell'uno o dell'altra quando si effettua una perforazione è alto. Ma cosa dire se si potesse fare a meno dell'acqua? L'ultima frontiera della geotermia mira proprio alla possibilità di realizzare circuiti idraulici a grande profondità, nei quali iniettare acqua da un pozzo per poi ripescarla calda da un altro pozzo. Tutto questo, senza che l'acqua si disperda nel sottosuolo, come avviene col cosiddetto fracking, col rischio di aumentare la sismicità. Ce ne parla Adele Manzella, prima ricercatrice dell'Istituto di Geoscienze e Georisorse del CNR.

Wirtschaftsministerin Reiche möchte neue Erdgaskraftwerke subventionieren. Aber sind diese Kraftwerke für unsere Versorgungssicherheit wirklich erforderlich oder droht ein neues Milliardengrab mit Steuergeschenken für die Erdgaslobby? Können wir mit Erdgasbohrungen in Deutschland die Abhängigkeiten von Gasimporten dauerhaft senken oder sind Biogas und grüner Wasserstoff eine Alternative? Oder sollten wir kurzfristig auf ganz andere Alternativen setzen? Das besprechen wir in einem Realitätscheck.

Von der Weltspitze zum Importland: Deutschlands Rohstoff-Kollaps Rohstoffe gibt's genug. Aber Deutschland will sie nicht. Ausschnitte aus einer Diskussion über ideologische Verbote, teure Energie und gefährliche Abhängigkeiten. Fachleute aus Geologie, Netzplanung und Industrie beleuchten die dramatisch zunehmenden Versorgungsrisiken Deutschlands bei Rohstoffen und Energie. Dabei wird deutlich: Nicht der Mangel an Rohstoffen sei das Problem, sondern politische Blockaden, ideologische Vorgaben und der Verzicht auf heimische Ressourcenförderung – etwa bei Braunkohle, Fracking oder Gips. Besonders scharf wird der einseitige Fokus der deutschen Energiepolitik auf Wind- und Solarkraft kritisiert, der laut Teilnehmern zu massiven Abhängigkeiten von China führe. Warum Recycling nicht funktioniert, Fracking verteufelt wird – und was das mit Chinas Dominanz zu tun hat. Webseite: https://www.tichyseinblick.de

For decades, hydraulic fracturing—or fracking—has relied heavily on water and sand to crack underground rock and release oil and gas. Fracking is safe, proven, and reliable, and in collaboration with horizontal drilling, has resulted in the huge growth in hydro carbon production in the US and Canada.    But fresh water is a scarce resource particularly in arid settings, and in many places under stress because of climate change. Disposal of used water is a technical challenge and costly. The sand resource, or proppant, is both costly to mine and heavy to ship. The mechanical process of forcing water and sand under pressure down the wells and into the rock generates a substantial carbon footprint.    Enter RocketFrac, a Calgary-based innovator using solid rocket fuel to crack the status quo.   Unlike conventional fracking, RocketFrac's technology eliminates the need for water and sand, which dramatically lowers carbon emissions and site disturbance. This self-propping, solid-fuel-based technique also opens up economically stranded assets, including abandoned or underperforming wells, with potential applications in water-stressed regions like California and the Middle East. It's an innovation that could redefine the economics and environmental impact of oil extraction.   In this episode I speak with Pavan Elapavuluri, Chief Technology Officer at RocketFrac, to hear firsthand about the origin of RocketFrac's solution, the physics behind the technology, its regulatory journey, and the digital tools they're using to model outcomes and rank well candidates. From carbon offsets to offshore potential, this episode is an explosive look at what could be the next big leap in oilfield operations.   And yes, those puns are all intended!    ⸻

As President Trump and the Republican-led Congress aim to shrink the federal government and renew major tax cuts, hundreds of billions of dollars in clean energy tax credits could be on the chopping board. Twenty-one House Republicans whose districts are benefiting from the tax credits are petitioning GOP leadership to keep them intact. Also, under President Biden the Department of Justice and EPA sued petrochemical manufacturer Denka, alleging that its Reserve, Louisiana plant posed unacceptable cancer risks. But the Trump administration abruptly dropped the case just weeks before the scheduled start of a trial. And the expansion of fracking or hydraulic fracturing for natural gas is generating large amounts of waste contaminated with heavy metals and radiation. Some of it gets sent to landfills like one in the small town of Yukon, Pennsylvania – where EPA has documented unacceptable levels of pollution draining from the landfill into a local creek.

A Clare Green Party representative claims the Government's "holier than thou" approach to fracked gas will only result in greater reliance on US imports. It comes as Shannon LNG, which is seeking to build a liquefied natural gas terminal in the Shannon Estuary, has been given the green light for a power plant and battery energy storage system.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Richard Buttny, Professor Emeritus in the Department of Communication and Rhetorical Studies at Syracuse University. With a Ph.D. from the University of Massachusetts, his research interests include environmental communication, discourse analysis, and intercultural communication. Richard's latest book, Unfracked: The Struggle to Ban Fracking in New York, was published by the University of Massachusetts Press in October 2024. About the book:  Since fracking emerged as a way of extracting natural gas, through intense deep drilling and the use of millions of gallons of water and chemicals to fracture shale, it has been controversial. It is perceived in different ways by different people--by some as an opportunity for increased resources and possibly jobs and other income; by others as a public health and environmental threat; and for many, an unknown. Richard Buttny, a scholar who works on rhetoric and discursive practices, read a story in his local paper in New York about hydrofracking coming to his area and had to research what it was, and what it could mean for his community. Soon he joined neighbors in fighting to have the practice banned state-wide. At the same time, he turned his scholarly eye to the messaging from both sides of the fight, using first-person accounts, interviews, and media coverage. The activists fighting fracking won. New York is now the only state in the US with sizable deposits of natural gas that has banned hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. Unfracked explains the competing rhetoric and discourses on fracking among New York-based advocates, experts, the grassroots, and political officials. Buttny examines how these positions evolved over time and how eventually the state arrived at a decision to ban this extractive technology. His accessible approach provides both a historical recounting of the key events of this seven-year conflict, along with four in-depth case studies: a grassroots citizen group, a public hearing with medical physicians, a key intergovernmental hearing, and a formal debate among experts. The result is a look at a very recent, important historical moment and a useful examination of environmental activist and fossil fuel advocate rhetoric around an issue that continues to cause debate nationwide. From my own experience reading it, I wholeheartedly agree that it is a must-read for any scholar in the field and also anyone interested in this issue.

Volvemos una vez más con el coche eléctrico, según algunos el coche del futuro… pues no. Personalmente pienso que es más el coche del presente que el coche del futuro… y no, no me he vuelto loco, pero es que el coche eléctrico tiene muchos enemigos, técnicos, comerciales y ahora, además, geopolíticos. Para los que me consideráis un “petrolhead” siento deciros que os equivocáis de medio a medio. Como aficionado confieso que el sonido de un buen motor térmico y las sensaciones que ofrece me resultan muy placenteras… pero como periodistas, tengo que tener la mente más abierta y por eso digo que el coche eléctrico es más el coche del presente que el coche del futuro… ¿por qué? Muy sencillo: Porque como coche urbano, hoy por hoy, no tiene rival. Y no solo es el silencio, la falta de emisiones allí donde se usa y la comodidad de conducción, es que el tipo de uso urbano la va como anillo al dedo a un coche eléctrico. Os aseguro que por muchas razones, el futuro del automóvil no es el coche eléctrico… os pido vuestra opinión, pero antes os pido que escuchéis mis argumentos… ¡que son muchos! Aparte de los citados hay más motivos que hacen de los coches eléctricos ideales para ciudad. Primero: no necesitas gran autonomía, porque por ciudad es imposible hacer muchos kilómetros: Según “Mundotaxi” en Madrid recorren algo más de 200 km. Un dato clave.Segundo: No necesitas mucha potencia, pues la mayor parte de la potencia se emplea en vencer la resistencia al aire y si no pasas de 50 km/h, limite habitual en una ciudad, no vas a requerir muchos caballos. Aunque vayas a la ciudad desde las afueras, tampoco podrás correr mucho en las vías de circunvalación. Tercero: el tipo de uso. Porque en un coche térmico lo que gatas para poner el coche a 50 km/h no lo recuperas cuando paras en el siguiente semáforo. En un eléctrico, o en un híbrido, sí. Pero es que además el rendimiento energético de un motor, es decir, la parte de la energía que se emplea en mover el coche, se acerca al 90 por ciento y con un motor térmico no supera el 25 por ciento. Y cuarto: Suma de todo ello, un coche eléctrico urbano puede llevar baterías ligeras y pequeñas. Como consecuencia, puede ser un coche relativamente ligero, verdadero “Talón de Aquiles” de los eléctricos. No os descubro nada si os digo que vivimos en un Mundo global. Así que si eres de los que piensa que no te importa nada la victoria de “Tramp”, o “Trump” como decís muchos Hispanoamericanos… pues es que no te enteras. Soy un ecologista convencido y para mí el calentamiento global es un hecho… pero Europa no lo puede hacer frente por su cuenta. Os doy datos de la propia UE: La Unión Europea emite en su conjunto 3.222 millones de toneladas de C02… una barbaridad. Pero es que nos supera India, los USA casi la duplican y China emite… agarraos… 15.944 millones de toneladas de CO2, cerca de 5 veces más que nosotros. Europa debe liderar la protección al medio ambiente, pero liderarla no es ponerse una soga al cuello. La estrategia de la movilidad eléctrica perjudica a Europa y beneficia, justamente, al mayor emisor de C02… ¡tócate las narices! Por no decir otra cosa. Y “Tramp” o Trump ha decidido perforar… se podría traducir “pinchar”, más en los USA, aunque sea con el peligroso método del “Fracking” para bajar el precio del petróleo, lo que hará más competitivo a los modelos tradicionales de motor térmico y a los híbridos. Seguimos con la geopolítica y vamos a hablar de materias primas. Y con datos provenientes de una fuente fiable, la Agencia Internacional de la Energía o AIE, que nos cuenta que no hay materias primas para tanto coche eléctrico. El coche eléctrico es un consumidor brutal de recursos, como las famosas tierras raras. Según la AIE para conseguir el objetivo de emisiones fijado para 2050 tendríamos que tener la bonita cifra de 2.000 millones de coches eléctricos… sencillamente, hoy por hoy, las materias primas no paran de subir… lo que hará que los eléctricos, a medio plazo suban de precio y no bajen. He metido este asunto en geopolítica porque a lo mejor esto te abre los ojos sobre el repentino interés de Trump en Groenlandia. Hablemos ahora de motivos comerciales para que los coches eléctricos no sean el futuro. Hablemos de subvenciones. Noruega ya eliminó las ayudas a la compra de coches eléctricos, ahora lo harán previsiblemente los USA y otros muchos vendrán detrás. Sin ayudas, los coches eléctricos se venderán menos… en realidad menos aún. En España según los propios fabricantes, apenas llegan el 5 por ciento del total. Pero hay algo más grave: Según un estudio elaborado por la consultora McKinsey & Company uno de cada tres compradores de coche eléctricos lo cambiaría por uno híbrido o térmico en su próxima compra. Dato que contrasta con que alrededor de un 25 por ciento de usuarios de coches térmicos cambiaria su coche por un eléctrico… Y esto con ayudas… ¿Y sin ayudas? En realidad, dejo para el final la mejor noticia y es que los coches con la llamada “pila de combustible” son ya una realidad. Primero, os explico cómo son. La reacción del hidrogeno con el oxígeno tiene como resultado energía eléctrica y vapor de agua. Con esa electricidad mueves el motor y tienes una batería relativamente pequeña para el coche funcione como un hibrido, recuperando energía en las frenadas y retenciones y para guardar la energía que te pueda sobrar, como hace ahora mismo ya los híbridos de Renault cuando le sobre potencia a su motor térmico y carga las baterías. El resultado es que el coche solo emite vapor de agua, es decir, emisiones contaminantes cero. Como un eléctrico. Pero con una diferencia: Si utilizas el llamado “Hidrogeno Verde” que se consigue con energías renovables o se extrae directamente, el coche de hidrogeno no contamina nada. BMW, Hyundai y Toyota tienen muy adelantados estos trabajos y de hecho te puedes comprar mañana mismo un Toyota Mirai o un Hyundai Nexo movidos por hidrogeno. Así las cosas, el presente son los coches urbanos eléctricos y los híbridos, a ser posible enchufables, para todo uso. Alucino los consumos que en ciudad consigue mi pareja con un simple Renault Clio Híbrido, en torno a los 4 litros a los 100 km… Los grandes y caros coches eléctricos no son hoy por hoy una opción que seduzca. Y por mucho que avance la infraestructura y la técnica, el tema de la recarga no tiene fácil solución. El futuro está claro: Eléctricos en ciudad o cortos recorridos, combustible sintético para determinados modelos deportivos o clásicos, algún hibrido de gasolina o gas e hidrogeno para el resto.

Patrick McKenzie (@patio11) is joined by Travis Dauwalter, energy enthusiast (and PhD), to explain the systems we often take for granted behind the US electrical grid. The conversation covers how the grid maintains perfect supply-demand balance in real-time, the challenges of integrating renewable energy sources, and why America actually has three separate interconnected grids. Patrick and Travis weave through the economics of power generation, transmission line physics, and how data centers are reshaping energy markets. (Also, in a bit of a surprise, Patrick defends the honor of Bitcoin miners.)–Full transcript available here: complexsystemspodcast.com/electricity-grids-travis-dauwalter/–Sponsors:  CheckCheck is the leading payroll infrastructure provider and pioneer of embedded payroll.

Is Australia's social media ban the right way to go? Social psychologist Jonathan Haidt says it is time to reinstate the play-based childhood to bring our kids back from life online and into the real world, away from their increasing obsession with devices. It's a fact of modern life that children who are given smart phones are able to access pornography, real images of violence and harmful comparisons with their friends and also influencers around the world.Social psychologist, Jonathan Haidt argues that as the social norms have changed, and younger and younger children have been allowed access to their own devices, their participation in the real world has suffered.Jonathan's theory is that in order to combat the addicting influence of technology on our kids' lives, families and society must encourage and allow children to enjoy free play, independence and responsibility in the real world.He says, rather than despairing at the current state of childhood, we have the power to give children fun, excitement and a passport to the real world.This episode of Conversations touches on Australia's social media ban, screen addiction, smart phones, online gaming, social media, mental health, teens, childhood, free play, children's independence, risk, outdoor play, child development, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, gaming, and Jonathan Haidt.

On the November 26 episode, @BenStein, @JudahFriedman, @TheRoffDraft walk through the problems with the Trump tariffs, the lie that is the climate change crisis, and more. On #TheWorldAccordingToBenStein.

It's Friday, and we're rounding up the biggest stories of the week. First, CEO of Denver-based Liberty Energy Chris Wright — also known as the guy who drank fracking fluid on camera to “prove” it was safe — is President-elect Donald Trump's pick to lead the Department of Energy. Who is Wright, and what would his appointment mean for the climate crisis? Then, the city has proposed building pickleball courts to fill the vacant lot at Colfax and Broadway. Will pickleball players go for it? Host Bree Davies is joined by stand-up comedian Joshua Emerson and Denver Post environmental reporter Noelle Phillips to talk climate change, local recreation, Westernaires' problematic Native American reenactments, a new pizza spot coming to Cap Hill, and more wins and fails of the week. Bree mentioned the proposed pedestrian bridges to the Capitol and the Evans School going from an artist studio space to a beer garden. Joshua discussed the Douglas County School District and their decision to postpone an AP African American studies course. What do you think?

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- While speaking with Politico, Camila Thorndike—Harris Campaign's Climate Engagement Director—revealed that Kamala Harris does not support the expansion of land leases for fracking, and the subsequent expansion of domestic energy production. Earlier in the campaign, Harris had emphasized the expansion of fracking leases via the Inflation Reduction Act, alluding to the idea that it would be a policy she supported moving forward. Notably, while running for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination in 2019, Harris had called for an outright ban on fracking. Thorndike's revelation now marks the third alteration of Harris's position on fracking. Can Pennsylvanians believe anything she is saying on this subject? 3:25pm- While speaking at a Latino Roundtable in Miami, Florida, Donald Trump couldn't believe that his political rival Kamala Harris was taking the day off from the campaign trail despite the presidential election being just two-weeks away. He hilariously stated: “I can't get over it…She's lazy as hell.” 3:40pm- Democrats in Swing States Are Now Running Away From Harris. In a new report from Alexander Bolton of The Hill writes: “Democrats running for the Senate in ‘blue wall' states that will be critical to determining the outcome of the 2024 election are running away from Vice President Harris, signaling that they are hoping to win over some of former President Trump's voters to keep their seats. And Democratic candidates in those states have been careful about criticizing Trump during the high-stakes debates. They have focused on policy and their own records without taking many—or any—shots against the Republican nominee.” Bolton notes that Democrats Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA), Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), and Senate Candidate Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) are distancing themselves from Harris. He writes that Slotkin “has sounded like a Republican at times, talking about her home on a ‘dirt road' where no electric vehicle would dare go. She has flashed Trumpian rhetoric about how Japan and South Korea ‘ate our lunch' in the 1980s by being a step ahead of U.S. automakers in promoting fuel-efficient vehicles.” You can read the full article here: https://thehill.com/homenews/4945815-democratic-candidates-avoid-harris-blue-wall/ 3:55pm- Rich reads hate mail from listeners—and Matt wonders why he was attacked too! He didn't even do anything.

Teamsters President Sean O'Brien recently announced that the influential union wouldn't be endorsing a presidential candidate. Meanwhile, other major unions are supporting Kamala Harris, but she's struggling to secure the working-class male vote. Have Democrats lost the ability to connect with this bloc, or is something else at play? And what do we mean when we say “working class” these days?There was a lot of attention on Kamala Harris' previous stances on fracking when she joined the presidential race. In 2019, Harris was firmly against fracking, but has since reversed course. It's seen as a key issue in the swing state of Pennsylvania, but the industry actually accounts for less than half of 1%  of jobs there. With such little impact on the state's economy, was supporting the controversial form of energy production necessary?A Drag Queen Story Hour in Lancaster, Pennsylvania made the town's library another front in the culture war. As part of our 50 states series, KCRW discusses how to overcome the urge to tune out the people and ideas we disagree with and find opportunities to unite.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:05pm- While speaking with CBS Pittsburgh's Jon Delano, Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris claimed that it was a “mischaracterization” to say that she once supported a ban on fracking—even though she explicitly said she wanted to ban fracking several times while campaigning for president in 2019. 6:15pm- On The View, host Sunny Hostin baselessly claimed that Melania Trump hates her husband and doesn't want to be First Lady ever again. 6:30pm- Punxsutawney Bob: In his Wall Street Journal editorial, Kyle Peterson writes: “Who's to blame for the $12 Philly cheesesteak that used to cost $9.75? That's what Dave McCormick, Pennsylvania's GOP nominee for Senate, wants voters to ponder as they go to the polls Nov. 5. Asked about inflation last week at a business roundtable in this Philadelphia suburb, Mr. McCormick argued it was ‘very predictable,' after Democrats spent trillions of dollars while also constraining fossil-fuel development. ‘Those policies,' he said, ‘have hurt working families the most.' Sen. Bob Casey, the Democratic incumbent, has a different theory. ‘You see it with all kinds of food and grocery stores, people paying more, and these big corporations are laughing all the way to the bank,' Mr. Casey recently told an audience, with Sen. Elizabeth Warren by his side. In campaign videos, he inveighs against what he calls ‘greedflation' and ‘shrinkflation.'” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.wsj.com/opinion/6-more-years-of-punxsutawney-bob-pennsylvania-us-senate-race-casey-mccormick-491a92f5?mod=opinion_lead_pos5 6:40pm- While speaking in Augusta, Georgia, Vice President Kamala Harris bizarrely bragged about the Biden-Harris Administration providing $750 in federal aid to Americans who have lost their homes, or been forced to abandon their homes, due to flooding from Hurricane Helene. Rich notes that the Biden-Harris Administration has sent over $100 billion to Ukraine, and yet there doesn't seem to be much money or support going to American citizens in desperate need of help. 6:50pm- BREAKING NEWS: Dockworkers Strike Suspended. Max Zahn and Meredith Deliso of ABC News report: “Sources familiar with the negotiations told ABC News that the two sides had reached a tentative agreement on wages and agreed to extend the master contract until Jan. 15. The sources said they will return to the bargaining table to negotiate all outstanding issues.” You can read more here: https://abcnews.go.com/US/dockworkers-strike-suspended-sources/story?id=114445386
