On the February 8th edition of Your Call, we’ll have a conversation about the fluctuations in the oil market. In the past two years, the price of oil has fallen from $100 a barrel to a 13-year low of $27 a barrel.
What’s behind the drop in oil prices? How is it affecting oil-producing countries? The recent fracking boom has turned the the United States into a major oil player, so what’s the future for renewables? Join the conversation, on the next Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.
