There is a relatively unanimous recognition that we inhabitants of earth really need to break our addiction to coal. It's filthy and there are so many cleaner energy sources. This mantra is now being repeated all over coal-dependent China, where shale gas resources appear to be abundant. It turns out, however, that the transition away from coal may not be so simple - or even a step in the right direction. Mother Jones journalists Jaeah Lee and James West spent a year investigating the ins and outs of the growing [fracking industry in China](http://www.motherjones.com/environment/2014/09/china-us-fracking-shale-gas).

Host [Alex Wise](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Wise) caught up with them before a recent panel discussion in San Francisco to talk about how U.S. oil and gas interests are exporting fracking around the globe and how the technology may pose risks in China that even exceed those associated with coal. Listen now to the first half of this two part series on today's Sea Change Radio.
