Oil and gas in the Arctic

Episode 25

The vast Arctic region is probably the last remaining unexplored source of hydrocarbons on the planet. In taking on the technical challenges of exploring for oil and gas there, are we making the most of a strategic resource or heading for an environmental and political minefield?

Sarah talks to Imperial College's Professor Al Fraser about environment, politics and climate, and whether Arctic oil exploration is the key to meeting the energy challenge.
