Oil, natural gas, water and pollution are main topics covered in James Ridgeway's book, "The Politics of Ecology." According to Ridgeway, conservationists are not interested in saving the land but rather they are interested in profits. What's best for the environment is not necessarily the biggest concern, explained Ridgeway.

Mr. Ridgeway and Studs talk about the energy crisis and the systematic pillaging of the land of the United States by the companies involved in harvesting natural resources. Includes: Two excerpts presented of Joe Begley of Blackey, KY talking about the state of things in Appalachia as gas companies and strip mine operators come in to destroy the land.
