The Energy Update - Week of June 8, 2020 - a podcast by IER

This week the team highlights new articles focusing on how energy will factor into the 2020 presidential election, new data showing the lack of connection between COVID-19 inspired lockdowns and air pollution, the reason why America's withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement is a boon to American energy producers and consumers, and Ohio's plan for Lake Erie's first offshore wind farm. Additionally, Alex Stevens gives a brief overview of new technology that is allowing natural gas drillers to capture even more gas from wells.
