On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation with one of the makers of Gas Hole, a documentary about the history of oil prices and the viable alternatives to petroleum fuel. Why have we become so dependent on oil? And why have actual solutions been suppressed? Join us at 10 or send an email to feedback@yourcallradio.org. How much power do the oil companies have? If alternatives exist, where is the political will to make them a reality? It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar and you.
Guests:
Jeremy Wagener, co-director of the documentary, Gas Hole: What the Oil Companies Don't Want You To Know
