Author Mark W Sasse recalls a childhood trip to the world's first commercial oil well - Drake's Well - built in 1859. This remarkable achievement by Edwin Drake started an oil boom in Western Pennsylvania.

This experience allows him to ruminate about the oil industry, the innovators of modern society, and whether the climate change pushers in this day and age should be trusted or not.

The Crossing Ideas Podcast seeks to understand the world of today through a lifetime of international travels.
