 In this episode, Dr. Mary Finley-Brook and Mr. Stephen Metts discuss their upcoming book, "Climate Crisis - Energy Violence." Finley-Brook and Metts have been studying the intersection of climate crisis - the rapidly changing climate brought on by human activities -- and energy violence -- the damage being done to our environment by a variety of malevolent human activities including the extraction of oil and natural gas for use in our powering our petroleum-centric world.

This episode covers a wide range of issues and questions including:
  • How do we address proximity issues (how close extractive industries are to urban populations) and social justice issues?
  • They discuss the Millenium Pipeline and its impact on nearby residents in the Hudson Valley area
  • They discuss the Atlantic Coast Pipeline (ACP) and its impact . . . both Finley-Brook and Metts worked to defeat this pipeline
  • Greenwashing and environmental illiteracy
  • Methane literacy
  • FERC and environmental racism
  • FERC's propensity to "rubber stamp" approving pipelines (a 99% approval rate!)
  • Erosion and biodiversity
  • The gaps in the regulatory system with respect to the environmental and climate impacts of pipelines (specifically around space and infrastructure; point source polluters in an urban environment)
  • The definition of environmental justice in urban and rural environments
  • The conflicts between state and federal governments over the impact of pipeline installations
  • The conflict of interest in having the fossil fuel industry define "best practices" with respect to a variety of development standards
  • The problem with carbon capture: does it really work and is it affordable?
