032 - From Whale Oil to Kerosene (Dead White Scientist Series)

The search for energy has largely been a search for light.  We have evolved from huddling around campfires, to burning candles made of animal fat, to hunting whales on the oceans, to refining oil and ultimately the electric light.  This is a journey filled with adventure, fortunes, misfortunes - but mostly lies and lawyers.  Join Annie and Jay Warmke of Blue Rock Station for a discussion of sustainable living - and the Dead White Scientists that made it all possible.
