Monday, September 8, 2014

We recently devoted an hour to fracking, which just scratched the surface of the topic, and brought out a passionate response from many listeners. As the state considers rules for fracking, we revisit the topic.  State regulators will decide whether or not to allow the practice and on the rules governing it sometime this fall and we will hear from people on both sides of the issue and share many of the comments and questions that came from you during our last show on the topic.

Guests:

  • James Womack - Commissioner for the Mining & Energy Commission 
  • Dr. Andy Bobyarchick - Associate Professor of Earth Sciences, Department of Geography and Earth Sciences at UNC Charlotte 
  • Cassie Gavin - Director of Government Affairs with Sierra Club’s NC Chapter
