S02E08 The Resource Curse & Deliver Us from Drought
With humanity's energy cravings skyrocketing, the extraction sector rushes to the planet's most isolated areas to meet this insatiable demand. In the largely untouched Melanesian nation of Papua New Guinea, Exxon Mobil has set its sights on a massive $19 billion liquid natural gas initiative projected to begin operations in late 2014. Vikram Gandhi travels to Papua New Guinea to delve deeper into the situation. Meanwhile, in Texas, Thomas Morton explores the climate crisis and uncovers the local community's responses, which frequently include seeking help from a higher power.
