Red states, blue states – when it comes to our environment, are we really two different Americas? New Yorker writer Eliza Griswold and UC Berkeley professor Arlie Hochschild both traveled outside

Red states, blue states – when it comes to our environment, are we really two different Americas? New Yorker writer Eliza Griswold and UC Berkeley professor Arlie Hochschild both traveled outside of their comfort zones, immersing themselves in communities that many liberals dismiss as ‘Trump country.’ But it’s time to get beyond the stereotypes, says Griswold. “I think ‘Trump country’ is a dangerous stupid moniker we shouldn't use anymore,” she tells the Climate One audience. “It just allows us to write off wide swaths of America.” Griswold spent time in southwestern Pennsylvania to tell the story of a family living on the front lines of the fracking boom. Hochschild traveled to rural Louisiana to escape what she calls the “bubble” of coastal thinking. “Let me get into a bubble that is as far right as Berkeley, California is on the left -- and take my alarm system off,” Hochschild laughs. Both writers emerged with books that paint an honest portrait of a misunderstood America. And later in the show: Production of oil and gas in the U.S. has surged to levels unthinkable a decade ago due to the revolution in hydraulic fracturing, which has helped the country surpass Saudi Arabia and Russia as the world's largest oil producer. In her latest book, Saudi America: The Truth About Fracking and How It’s Changing the World, Bethany McLean explores the past, present and future of fracking in America. Yet new development of fossil fuels is simply not consistent with the math of the Paris climate accord, leading us all to ask: What's next for fossil fuels? #letstalkclimate https://climateone.org/ 6:37 Fracking forced a family off their land 8:09 The Electoral Map 9:41 Red State Paradox 10:55 Think like me, then you're correct 13:18 Fracking 16:04 Saudi Arabia tried to put Texas fracking out of business? 18:02 Fracking innovation 20:14 Stop taking fossil fuels out of the ground 24:37 The myth of American oil independence
