I was privileged to participate in Newsy’s documentary, Blowout: Inside America’s energy gamble, available for streaming on Amazon Prime, Fire TV, Roku, Vizio, and Apple TV.
Investigative journalists, scientists, and citizens trace the fallout of a new American fossil fuel boom. From the oil fields of West Texas to tanker traffic busting the Panama Canal at its seams to an energy revolution in Asia, “Blowout” takes a deep dive into American energy’s global impacts on profits, public health, and climate change. From the oil fields of West Texas to tanker traffic busting the Panama Canal at its seams to an energy revolution in Asia, this Newsy documentary shows the human stakes of a surge in American oil and gas – and its impacts on profits, public health, and climate change.
I know quite a bit about oil and gas, but I learned a lot watching Newsy follow gas molecules from the Permian Basin to India. Blowout takes a comprehensive look at the supply side of the fracking boom.
Newsy collaborated with Texas Tribune and Center for Public Integrity, and the result is some of the highest quality reporting from the Permian Basin fracking boom.

This is comment contains a logical fallacy.
When my jeans wear out too fast, I don’t go naked, I complain and advocate for better clothing.
When my food is bad, I don’t stop eating, I complain and advocate for better food.
Only the oil and gas industry is so arrogant they feel above criticism.
Until recently I lived in a house with solar. I currently drive an EV.
I choose those options but not everyone can. 83% of all Americans want to leave oil and gas behind for clean renewable energy
