"A professor in Pennsylvania makes a calculation, to discover that his state is sitting atop a massive reserve of natural gas—enough to revolutionize how America gets its energy.

1. This episode is great, but really nerve-wracking to listen to.

The blackmail and dirty tricks and bold-faced lies from the fracking company are just breathtaking.
