How "Energy Dominance" Became a Gendered Climate Narrative

from Drilled · host Pushkin Industries

“Energy dominance” became a defining slogan of the Trump administration—but who or what are they trying to dominate with all that oil and gas? Amy and Daniel trace how gender became so embedded in our collective understanding of nature. From the shift away from earth-centered spiritual traditions like worshipping Gaia and Indigenous earth-mother figures to the rise of extracting "natural resources" from private property and seeing gas-guzzling vehicles as a symbol of masculinity, we look at how energy became entwined with power.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
