Energy Tradeoffs Podcast #17 – Melinda Taylor

Another week, another EnergyTradeoffs.com podcast episode. This week, the University of Texas’s Melinda Taylor talks with David Spence about her research on “Studying Intensive Energy Development (Oil & Gas, Wind and Solar) in West Texas.”

Melinda talks about her work with the Cynthia & George Mitchell Foundation on “a community-based landscape conservation plan” for three West Texas counties that are part of Texas’s staggering oil, gas, & renewable power boom — the biggest energy boom the world has ever seen. These “relatively yet-untouched counties in west Texas … host beautiful, iconic landscape features.”

You can learn more about this area of West Texas, and the energy boom — and hear more from Melinda — in this trailer for “The Long Game” a documentary series by the Mitchell Foundation.
