Gold joins us Tuesday to examine the economic, environmental and social impacts of where our energy comes from.
Russell Gold is an investigative journalist at The Wall Street Journal. His new book is called The Boom: How Fracking Ignited the American Energy Revolution and Changed the World [Amazon|Indiebound].
