Fracking for oil and natural gas is transforming America's energy economy. The resulting low-priced natural gas has undercut nuclear, coal, and renewable power. This boom is spreading globally, with the U.S. poised to become the world's largest petroleum producer, potentially undermining OPEC and altering geopolitical power.

Russell Gold's book, *The Boom: How Fracking Ignited the American Energy Revolution and Changed the World*, details how Texas and Oklahoma innovators perfected hydraulic fracturing. In this video, Gold, a Wall Street Journal reporter, provides a brief history of fracking's origins and its industry evolution. Published in 2015, his book is available for order.

Native Floridian Sean Russell developed a passion for marine conservation through 4-H and an internship at Mote Marine Laboratory. At 16, he founded the "Stow It-Don't Throw It Project." This initiative repurposes tennis ball containers into fishing line recycling bins, distributed by youth who educate anglers on proper disposal to protect marine wildlife from debris. The project now operates in 10 states.

In 2011, Russell launched the Youth Ocean Conservation Summit at Mote Lab. This annual event equips young people with skills to start their own conservation projects, inspiring hundreds nationwide. Satellite summits are now expanding its reach, beginning with the National and Seattle Aquariums.

Marine Biologist Dr. Stephen Palumbi discusses how global warming is transforming our oceans. He highlights rising ocean temperature, acidity, and water levels.

These environmental changes are accelerating, with their effects projected to last for centuries. Corals are among the organisms most severely impacted by these shifts.

The survival of coral ecosystems ultimately depends on the rate at which our climate continues to change.

Peter Russell's award-winning 1983 video explores the Earth as an integrated, self-regulating living organism. It questions humanity's function within this planetary being.
