Jason Finlay and Aiden Anderson-Barr from Vantage North Group, both former NT government officials, break down why Australia had a fracking moratorium, how a left-leaning government lifted it, what the East Coast energy crisis actually looks like, and why US technology is the key to unlocking it all.
