A Monolithic Folly: Fracking Colorado's North Fork ...

Season 2022 Episode 24 | 26m 41s | CC

After two of the region's three coal mines closed, communities in Western Colorado’s North Fork Valley adapted to create an economy based on agriculture, tourism, and quality of life. But the region sits on top of natural gas supplies, and nearly all public lands surrounding the valley are now open to oil and gas development. Learn what’s at stake if fracking proliferates in the North Fork.
