Talking Business is in New York where Michelle Fleury asks her guests if America's new oil boom can continue, making the US self-sufficient in energy, despite a lower oil price?

Talking Business is in New York where Michelle Fleury and her guests are exploring America's energy renaissance. The production of alternative sources of oil and gas by methods such as fracking has soared in the past ten years, putting the United States on a path towards energy self-sufficiency. But with the oil price falling in the past year, can this new oil boom last? What does it mean for the environment and the world economy? Michelle puts these questions and more to Mark Schwartz, former Chief Economist at Exxon Mobil, Richard Kauffman, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's energy "Czar" and John O'Donell from Glasspoint, a company which uses solar energy to improve the extraction of oil.
