| FRIDAY, JUNE 28, 7PM | America Abroad:Global Energy. The rise of hydraulic fracturing of shale -- known as "fracking" -- has led to a revolution of cheaper, cleaner, natural gas. But, what does this gas boom mean for the development of renewable energy in the U.S.? And, how are countries like India and China determining the best mix of traditional, renewable and clean energies? This month on America Abroad -- Global Energy and Innovations we'll hear about solar power in India, cleaner coal in China and the latest energy technologies being developed here at home. | http://www.americaabroad.org/radio/programs/documentaries/?prog=global_energy_and_innovations |
