Gary Evans of GreenHunter Energy Inc.

Gary Evans, founder and CEO of GreenHunter Energy, has assembled a radically-diversified portfolio of alternative energy production businesses, among them, a biodiesel refinery, wind farms and a biomass electrical generation plant that is being upgraded to be fueled by cow manure and wood waste. Evans also founded Magnum Hunter Resources in 1985, then sold it to Cimarex Energy in June 2005 for $2.2 billion. Russ conducts a fascinating interview with this alternative energy guru who "jumped ship" from an active career in the fossil fuels industry.
