Dr. Scott Jackson is a Visiting Professor at Villanova in the Chemical and Biological Engineering Department, he teaches a course in petroleum engineering, and he joins KYW In Depth to break down all the reasons why oil went negative, discuss where he thinks the price of gas is going to go, and answer what happens if you just turn off the oil pumps.
