New Yorker writer Eliza Griswold and UC Berkeley professor Arlie Hochschild traveled to "Trump country" to challenge stereotypes and understand environmental perspectives beyond the "red state, blue state" divide. Griswold explored fracking's impact in Pennsylvania, while Hochschild immersed herself in rural Louisiana. Both emerged with honest portraits of a misunderstood America.

The discussion also covered the U.S. fracking boom, which has made the country the world's largest oil producer. Bethany McLean's book, *Saudi America*, examines fracking's past, present, and future. However, this fossil fuel expansion conflicts with Paris climate accord goals, prompting questions about the future of energy. Learn more at climateone.org.
