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. Check out the Illinois Petroleum Resources Board here and at their YouTube channel!
