  • Sustainability Now! | Justin Nobel | Petroleum-238 | 6-10-24

    Sustainability Now! | Justin Nobel | Petroleum-238 | 6-10-24
    Jun 8 2024
    On this week’s program, your host, Justin Mog, welcomes to the airwaves Justin Nobel, author of the new book Petroleum-238: Big Oil's Dangerous Secret and the Grassroots Fight to Stop It (published April 24, 2024). The book began as a piece of investigative journalism published in Rolling Stone as ""America’s Radioactive Secret"" on January 21, 2020 (https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/oil-gas-fracking-radioactive-investigation-937389/) That investigation examined the radioactivity brought to the surface in oil and gas production and the various pathways of contamination posed to the industry’s workers, the public and communities, and the environment. The magazine story won an award for longform writing with the National Association of Science Writers. Learn more about the book at https://bookshop.org/p/books/petroleum-238-big-oil-s-dangerous-secret-and-the-grassroots-fight-to-stop-it-justin-nobel/20873986?ean=9798989546237 Petroleum-238 is the product of an acclaimed science journalist’s extraordinary seven-year investigation into how the U.S. oil and gas industry has avoided environmental regulations and created a dangerous and radioactive public health crisis. As Justin Nobel traveled the United States reporting on the oil and gas industry he learned a disturbing and little-considered fact: a lot more comes to the surface at a well than just the oil and gas. Each year the industry produces billions of tons of waste, much of it toxic and radioactive. The fracking boom has only worsened the problem. So where does it all go? Petroleum-238 provides the shocking answer. Shielded by a system of lax regulations and legal loopholes, this waste has been spilled, spread, injected, dumped, and freely emitted across America. Nobel relies on oilfield workers, community activists, a century of academic research, and a trove of never-before released industry and government documents to lay out a series of game-changing reveals into the world’s most powerful industry. None have been more deceived than the industry’s own workers, who are suffering mysterious health maladies and dying from unexplainable cancers. This book is an impressive work of investigative science journalism with surprising moments of literary beauty, and a welcome breakdown of the false wall corporations and politicians often set between industry workers and environmentalists. In the tradition of Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring, Petroleum-238 is both a landmark work of environmental writing and an urgent call to action. Justin Nobel writes on science and environment for US magazines, investigative sites, and literary journals. His work has been published in Best American Science and Nature Writing and Best American Travel Writing. A book he co-wrote with a death row exonoree, The Story of Dan Bright, was published in 2016 by University of New Orleans Press. His 2020 Rolling Stone magazine story, “America’s Radioactive Secret,” won an award for longform writing with the National Association of Science Writers and inspired this book. Justin’s writing has helped lead to lawsuits, academic research, public dialogue and been taught at Harvard’s School of Public Health. As always, our feature is followed by your community action calendar for the week, so get your calendars out and get ready to take action for sustainability NOW! Sustainability Now! is hosted by Dr. Justin Mog and airs on Forward Radio, 106.5fm, WFMP-LP Louisville, every Monday at 6pm and repeats Tuesdays at 12am and 10am.
