Petroleum 238

A little known fact about oil and gas drilling is that a lot more comes up from the depths of the earth than just oil or gas. Much of this waste is toxic and radioactive. And the fracking boom has only worsened the problem.

On this episode of Locus Focus we talk with Justin Nobel, author of Petroleum 238 about where all that waste goes once it has been separated from the coveted fossil fuel and how very little of it is regulated.
