Today’s Guests/Topics:

Joe Dancy, energy expert and educator, talks solar energy, flaring, Colorado’s war on oil and gas, industry’s image and using social media to broadcast professional issues with clients and collecting money from customers, sometimes referred to as “slow pay”.

Dancy also responds to the thesis and comment that industry is fighting a different battle that the environmentalists. Podcast host Jason Spiess contends that industry is using information in an energy debate while environmentalists are using emotion in a public health debate. Both Spiess and Dancy explain why they believe oil and gas is falling behind in the realm of public opinion and positive relations.

Dan Haley, Colorado Oil and Gas Association, gives a history of Prop 112, a measure that impacts oil and gas development and how Governor Jared Polis started a war on oil and gas.
