Episode 2 - Phantom Threat: Fracking

Methane can’t be seen with the naked eye, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t leaking from extraction sites across the country-posing health and climate risks. Emissions experts like Sharon Wilson and Miguel Escoto, Director and Organizing Director, respectively, at Oilfield Witness, are using specialized imaging equipment to make this invisible gas visible, with the hope of understanding and underscoring just how much methane and air pollutants are leaking out.
This is episode 2 in the four-part docuseries, "Phantom Threat," a production of Nexus Media News presented in partnership with Peril & Promise.
Funding made possible by Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors. Special thanks to the Gas Leaks Project.
About the Series:
Phantom Threat is a series about the role of the “natural” gas industry in shaping public perception of the fuel, as well as the work of frontline communities, climate leaders and scientists to uncover the truth about its risks. It features activists working to expose the negative climate, environmental and health impacts of gas throughout its entire lifecycle--from its extraction from the ground to its use in producing plastic to its consumption in homes.
