35 How Wall Street broke the oil giants
from Crude Ambition: This is the story of power · host By Seven Media
The greatest oil boom in history ends with a billion-dollar shale project killed overnight and Colorado ghost towns sprouting weeds. This is the episode where the fever of thirty-four-dollar oil gives way to glut, conservation proves more powerful than anyone imagined, and OPEC watches helplessly as the world learns to use less. Episode 35 of Crude Ambition charts how the bust that followed the boom nearly turned oil into just another commodity.
