Capitol Conversation: Frack Fluid, Oil & Gas Regulations

Governor John Hickenlooper is getting pushback for recently telling members of Congress that he once drank frack fluid while touting Colorado as a national model for balanced energy rules.

Bente Birkeland takes a look at the issue and the Governor’s comments as part of our capitol conversation series.
