How Fracking Made Energy Affordable Again

Fracking might sound complicated, but it’s basically a wild mix of science, engineering, and more than a few surprising stories. We sat down with Justin G. Hayes from FLOW Partners to talk through what fracking actually is, how sand and water make it work, and why it’s been such a game-changer for the energy industry. Along the way, we bust myths, wander into some hilarious tangents, and even get into the bizarre history of people trying everything from TNT to nuclear blasts to get oil and gas out of the ground. It’s part science lesson, part energy history, and part “wait, they really did that?”, all served up with plenty of laughs.
