Porter Ranch Methane Leak, Jerry Brown State of the State
A massive, uncontrollable methane leak in Porter Ranch, Los Angeles, is described as the largest environmental disaster since the BP oil spill. Despite the severity of the leak, California Governor Jerry Brown failed to mention it during his State of the State address, focusing instead on global climate agreements. The hosts discuss the health impacts on residents and the technical difficulties in capping the 8,000-foot-deep leak.
