Worshipping the Gas Station: Rethinking Energy with Bart Welling

Worshipping the Gas Station: Rethinking Energy with Bart Welling

This month we had a fascinating conversation with Bart Welling, whose presentation at the ASLE Conference this last summer was caught by Lindsay! Bart's research was informed by his own road trip around the country, a month-long, 12,000-mile trip. This chat was particularly special as Bart is still completing his book project, and we aim to have more episodes in the future with more research-in-progress!

Bart walked us through his new book project, "Resisting Energy: The Long Struggle Against Irresponsible Power," that looks at the modern debates over fossil fuels and energy, arguing we need to rethink energy (including "clean" energy) with the laborers who are often treated as dispensable.
