The Word is Out
Game Changer
Posted in Author Blog by Mark Stevens on July 13, 2011
That’s the title of the current episode of “This American Life.”
Game changer.
And it’s all about the fight over natural gas resources in Pennsylvania, where a huge shale deposit has the ‘frackers’ licking their chops. It’s about money, profit, public relations and the battle over information. As a microcosm (it’s such a big fight, it may as well be a macrocosm) of our ability to hold a thoughtful discussion about energy development in our country, it doesn’t bode well. Kudos to Susan Koenig for a terrific hour of radio reporting.
It’s against the same kind of backdrop of fighting that I set “Buried by the Roan.” The state is different, but the battle is the same. There’s a lot at stake. There’s not much question about that.
