We explore the love/hate relationship between residents of northern Alberta and the oil industry

Program Title: Terra Informa 7-44: Peace River Farmers and the Petroleum Industry
Description: Terra informa heads to Peace River, Alberta to investigate the on-going conflict between farmers and the petrochemical industry. We took our microphones to oil wells, farmers' fields, and folk's living rooms. We heard from people on both sides of the argument and explore the challenge inherent in balancing the economic benefits of industrial development against its social and environmental costs.
