Denton, Texas successful initiative to ban fracking and its unfortunate aftermath
When philosophy professor Adam Briggle moved to Denton, Texas, he had never heard of fracking. Five years later he would successfully lead a citizens' initiative to ban hydraulic fracturing in Denton—the first Texas town to challenge the oil and gas industry. On this episode of Locus Focus we talk with Adam Briggle about the impacts of fracking on communities like Denton, his leap from the ivory tower into the fracking fray and what happened in the aftermath of their electoral victory.
Adam Briggle is an associate professor of philosophy at the University of North Texas and author of A Field Philosopher's Guide to Fracking.
