Ep 2 | Why Oil Isn't Dead Yet (w/ Seth Whitehead)

Brandon and Jeremy sit down with Seth Whitehead, Executive Director of the Illinois Petroleum Resources Board, to talk about the history, future, and public perception of oil and gas in Illinois. Seth shares how IPRB educates students, supports environmental restoration, and helps tell the story of an industry made up largely of local, family-run producers. They also discuss fracking misconceptions, the impact of shows like Landman, abandoned tank battery cleanup, workforce development, and why energy demand means oil and gas will remain essential for years to come.
