Gregory Zuckerman on the Frackers and the Energy Revolution

Author Gregory Zuckerman talks to host Russ Roberts about his new book, The Frackers, the rise of hydraulic fracturing (fracking), how this technology developed, and the vibrant personalities that pioneered the energy revolution. Topics discussed include the history and future of fracking, environmental concerns about the process, and how the story of fracking is the classic tale of the successes and failures of determined risk-takers. The role of market forces in driving that success and failure runs through the entire conversation.
