3. Blowout
Corrupted Democracy, Rogue State Russia, and the Richest, Most Destructive Industry on Earth
A sweeping investigation into how the oil and gas industry distorts global politics, corrodes democratic institutions, and harms communities and the environment, from the Kremlin’s use of energy as a geopolitical weapon to the U.S. fracking boom and man-made earthquakes in Oklahoma.
