Dmitry Orlov interview. Author of Reinventing Collapse: The Soviet Example and American Prospects." Orlov compares end of Soviet & American empires. His advice for Presidential candidates, as oil era ends is priceless. Hear about "The Collapse Party" platform.... We run a clip from the Minneapolis National Conference on Media Reform (Professor Lawrence Lessig of Stanford on how media sows doubt on global warming, which doesn't exist in climate science...) Then I reference two hours of key speeches from that Conference, available in program number 415 of the underground series "Unwelcome Guests" by Lynn Gary. Find that at the busy website www.radio4all.net Search by producer "Unwelcome Guests" - but be warned, the site can be too busy to respond well during peak hours. Go in off-peak hours to get your Media Reform files. radio4all is the backbone for distributing radio works by independent producers - including Radio Ecoshock. Also: Animal rights & global warming: Anthony Marr interview. Anthony runs "HOPE" which stands for "Heal Our Planet Earth". He's been a long time activist on everything from Tigers to biodiversity of the Amazon, and the abuse of farm animals in agribusiness. Anthony came to the realization that climate change will wipe out more species, faster, than pharmaceutical testing could ever dream of. Animal rights activists need to get on board fighting climate change - but will they? I hope so, just as I'm sick of seeing all the coverage about climate impacts on humans. As though we aren't going through a mass extinction event. As though animal's lives don't really matter to the animals themselves. As though all the creatures don't have an inherent right to live on this planet too. Amory Lovins tells government that Nukes are no answer to climate change. Our 6 minute clip is from Lovin's testimony to Congress, at the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming on March 12th, 2008. It's been a long time since I've heard such a devastating put-down of the nuclear power illusion, in just a few minutes. I wont' try and summarize what he said - listen in. Check out some other really interesting testimony to the Committee, with some video, at: http://globalwarming.house.gov/pubs/testimony Alex on oil company Net trolls. I was reading a suggestion in Grist that the recent one in 500 year, never seen before, floods in the Mid West might actually be related to climate change. Then the writer gets pounded in the comments - with a pseudo scientific explanation by "Ralph". Ralph says the climate is cooling, and Brad is just a tool. I always wonder who those trolls really are. Checking out "Ralph" I find Ralph Hansen PHD. It turns out Ralph is "gainfully employed in the energy industry." What a surprise. Then I start thinking about all the "independent" military hacks that appeared on TV, really still employed by the Pentagon, as propagandists. Do you suppose that Exxon/Mobil, with $40 billion profits, and other big oil companies (not to mention PR companies hired by the Saudi's) - just might spend a few bucks on blog sites, and a thousand blog commenters like Ralph? This might explain why any climate science posted on the Net is immediately hit with a torrent of bricks and boos. A newcomer to the Net might think the American public HATES the idea of climate change, or any plan to do something about it. Funny, real public opinion polls show just the opposite. People are concerned about climate change, and want to save the climate. We've known the mainstream media, following the lead of the Bush Administration, has long been a force for climate denial and befuddlement. But don't underestimate the psychological operations and paid hacks on the Net as well. It's all propaganda, new and old. Speaking of mainstream, Discovery Channel has launched a 24 hour "green" themed channel. find it at planetgreen.com I was a little horrified to see green decorating tips, as the world goes down, but it's a step in the right direction? How about ABC News bringing out a new special for this September on the possible collapse of civilization due to climate change and other pressures? You can even contribute to the program, and game the end of civilization!!! (at Earth2100.tv) Their trailer is about as scary as anything I can produce. Is Radio Ecoshock about to be put out of business by Disney's ABC? Don't hold your breath waiting for that. I notice their news program still depends on a 50/50 toxic mix of drugs ads and car/truck/SUV ads. Hardly the stuff of the new age. Add it all up, and here you go, The Radio Ecoshock Show for June 20th, 2008. Crisis radio. Alex Smith - your host. Ecoshock 080620 1 hour CD Quality 56 MB or Lo-Fi 14 MB. Production Notes: Check out this stinging social song "We Can't Make It Here Anymore" by John McMurty. We take the time to play the whole thing. Best I've heard in a while, almost a country Dylan, back when Dylan had something to say. Insert quick station ID over music at 29:03 if needed. Or cut into song if you need more.

Senator John McCain is scheduled to appear at a fundraiser in Bellevue this hour (5:00 8:00 p.m.). Today (Tues) marks his first appearance in Washington State as the presumptive G.O.P. nominee for president. KUOW's Phyllis Fletcher has more.

Former Governor Dan Evans introduced Senator McCain and his roundtable discussion on the environment May 13, 2008 at the Seattle Public Utilities Cedar River Watershed Education Center in North Bend. McCain spoke with an Eagle Scout, an REI executive, a farmer, and others about emissions cap and trade and nuclear power. This was his first appearance in Washington since he became the presumptive GOP nominee for President.

John McCain is in North Bend Washington today to talk about the environment. The presumptive Republican presidential nominee wants a mandatory limit on greenhouse gas emissions. He also thinks nuclear power may help get us there. We'll take a closer look at McCain's proposals. Also today, is a politician's stage of life relevant? Is McCain too old? Is Obama too young? Airline pilots have to retire at age 65. Should there be a mandatory retirement age for presidents? There already is a mandatory minimum age. You can't run for president if you're under 35. Is that right? Call (206) 543 5869. Plus, the President of the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research, Arjun Makhijani, explains how he thinks we can have an energy future that is carbon free without resorting to nuclear power. He'll explain.

Helen Caldicott's new broadcast/podcast program #1. Hands up everyone who wants to hear about nuke reactor safety..... Nobody? Perfect. That's just the way the nuclear industry wants it - as they plan a new "renaissance" of reactor construction as a "solution" to climate change. Really, the same big corporations want the government to back and insure their risky plans to rake in billions of bucks. George Bush loves the plan. So does the military. Republican candidate John McCain just told nutty talk show host Glenn Beck he's like to see America get 80% of it's electricity needs from nuclear power - just like the French do. Joseph Romm, the energy expert from climateprogress.org did the math. That means 700 new reactors, which we could build over the next 100 years, so long as we stop building anything else. Newt Gingrich loves nuclear power too. Obama has big nuclear donors in his home state - but hey, all the candidates take money from the nuclear lobby. For the sake of sanity, please listen to Helen Caldocott's interview with David Lochbaum, Director of the Nuclear Safety Project for the Union of Concerned Scientists. In Blogger, just click the title above. Or download the fast Lo-Fi version shown below. You'll hear about near-melt-downs of U.S. reactors, spent fuel as terrorist targets, and a failure to protect public safety. Not much of that gets reported in the mainstream news. Funny, since once of the biggest nuclear reactor makers, General Electric, owns a TV network. Even with 10 years of warning, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) failed to demand reactor changes when inconvenient for business operators. The wall of one American reactor was eaten away to a single layer of failing metal - ready to blow. Was that the one near you? As Chernobyl taught us, we are all down-wind from a blown reactor. The radioactive particles go into the upper atmosphere, and rain down upon the world, raising cancer rates, and worrying millions. Meanwhile, all the so-called "spent fuel" (still highly radioactive) is kept in tanks, concrete bunkers, wherever - around the plants. Some are above ground, easy targets for terrorism, especially an airplane hit. Also read Helen Caldicott's 2006 book: "Nuclear Power Is Not The Answer To Global Warming - Or Anything Else."

France generates over 80% of its energy using nuclear power plants; the United States, 20%. Why the difference, and whose air is cleaner? Sigval Berg of UniStar Nuclear Energy, a joint venture of American and French power companies, details to host Karen Saupe the advantages and concerns surrounding the use of nuclear power as an energy source.

Guests Lanny Sinkin and Cyrus Reed addressed problems with the South Texas Nuclear Project and presented clean energy solutions to nuclear power. Plus video of Arjun Makhijani speaking before the City of Austin Electric Utility Board on the cost of green power.

Jeffrey has a fascinating conversation with Dr. Steven Greer, an emergency physician and the Founder and Director of AERO (Advanced Energy Research Organization) and The Orion Project.Dr. Greer has worked for 17 years to bring together the scientists, inventors and leaders in society to advance new clean technology energy systems and is considered one of the world s foremost authorities on the strategic process of transforming our carbon-based civilization to a long-term sustainable civilization using innovative sciences and technology. He has written several books. The most recent Hidden Truth - Forbidden Knowledge is his personal memoir which describes his journey in bringing out this information. Over the years Dr. Greer has briefed top level CIA, Pentagon, government and corporate leaders in the US and around the world and has built mainstream support for alternative energy systems, some of which have existed since the early 1900s. He has been heard in interviews worldwide with his message of hope that these energy systems can soon be available worldwide. His goal is to assist in the creation of a sustainable, peaceful civilization on Earth that is both high tech and in harmony with the environment. The Orion Project, Dr. Greer’s latest endeavor was created to transform the current energy, environmental and social crisis into a world of sustainability and Enlightened Abundance. As The Orion Project states on their website: “Technological progress in the areas of advanced physics and electromagnetic systems, if appropriately supported, will enable humanity to live on the Earth with a minimal footprint with genuine long-term sustainability. For over 100 years, these advanced concepts in energy generation have either been ignored or actively suppressed due to the power of fossil-fuel based economic and industrial interests. Imagine a world where every home and village has its own clean source of electrical energy, free from the cost of fossil fuels, nuclear power or a centralized electric grid. Imagine every means of transportation running off of clean power plants, using no source of fuel and creating no pollution. Imagine the developing world blossoming with these new technologies and the equatorial rain forests protected from slash and burn subsistence farming and logging. Imagine all intercity transportation above the ground and the millions of acres paved over with highways freed for productive agriculture and recreation. Imagine all manufacturing being clean-fuel sourced, using no-cost or low-cost energy. Imagine the possibility of 100% recycling because the energy cost of transporting recycled materials, processing them and scrubbing pollution out of the air and water approaches zero. This is no mere pipe-dream, but a world that is well within our grasp to create- in our lifetimes. The Orion Project is dedicated to supporting the world s most accomplished engineers, physicists, and inventors who have developed innovative solutions to energy generation, cleaning up the fossil fuel power sources currently in use.” Listen to a very informative and eye opening discussion as Dr. Greer discusses his life’s passion with examples, and a good understanding of the technologies that can transform the current breakdown and crisis in human civilizational ecology in a relatively short time to a sustainable healthful and peaceful reality. As Dr. Greer so succinctly emphasizes - it will have to be a grass roots movement that starts with individuals and works it way up to the top. For as it has been said: “When the people lead, the leaders will follow.” The Omni Art Salon theme music, When Angels Smile, is provided courtesy of Back To Earth

SomaCow Media, Inc. is ashamed to be associated with this episode of SomaCow, brought to you this week in spite of good taste and sensibility. Geoff is incredibly offensive and rude to people in this hour, and I only hope Mickey, J, and our listener can forgive him for such offensive material. Mickey makes a special announcement concerning The Chick That He Is Dating and himself. I don t know how you get a guy to go through all that again! WTG, Mickey! When Geoff isn t throwing out the R-Bomb, and making that stupid sounding Carlos Menciasque (HACK!) noise, he also manages to lower the credibility of our entire show by passing along half-cocked conspiracy theories involving nuclear power, MSN Hotmail, and your local Coffee Barista. Schmuck. Then fatty grabs the mic and blabbers about Jenny McCarthy s book. See if I ever read you a bedtime story again, tons of no fun! Anyway, Mickey and J are good in this episode, so, enjoy them, and comment as you see fit. We also enjoyed the following great bands this week: Weedy Factory - Did It for the Money Enter the Haggis - One Last Drink

With the nation's increasing demand for energy sources, a look at whether nuclear power is making a comeback and how much it will cost to address security and environmental concerns.

Election day in some Tampa Bay area communities, new hearing requested regarding lethal injection and Hillsborough County's transportation planners put long-range plan into motion.

It's all about as murky as the water in that curiously glowing pool you always see in photos inside nuclear reactors. British Energy, which owns eight nuclear power stations in the UK, is in the van of a new wave of popularity for nuclear power. But who owns what, who pays for what and who might own what if and when it's been paid for is all a little less clear.

Uranium can be used as a source of nuclear energy and a component in nuclear weapons. Learn more about uranium and nuclear energy in this HowStuffWorks podcast.

Show 151 Dennis Prager talks to Gwyneth Cravens, science writer and novelist. She has worked as an editor for both The New Yorker and Harpers. Her latest book is Power to Save the World: The Truth About Nuclear Energy. An admitted liberal and environmentalist, she has written a formidable argument for nuclear power. Dennis talks to Dr. Timothy Ball, Chairman of the Natural Resources Stewardship Project and former climatology professor at the University of Winnipeg. Ball thinks that the global warming panic is the deception of the century. Dennis talks to John Stossel about global warming.

This week, we take on your science questions, tackling the sticky subject of how glue works, the explosive potential of underground uranium and the problems with performance enhancing-football shirts. We look into gastroenteritis and find out how just one gram of vomit could infect one million people, and if that hasn't put you off your food, how acrylamide, found in toast and other tasty foods, may cause cancer. Plus, how the future of the paperback could be plastic, and in Kitchen Science we tell you the easy way to keep mirrors mist-free - using only soap!

California Assemblyman Chuck DeVore on why the state needs to revisit nuclear power if it expects to dramatically reduce carbon emissions without crippling the world's 6th largest economy.

{Note to self: If you're going to record the show at a bar, edit We thought about getting some of the patrons on the show, but a hungover Erick was way more entertaining. Dave wants to set his stuff on fire every time something goes wrong - like Scott Proctor. And a quick note - nuclear energy is not renewable or safe. It's not an appropriate replacement for fossil fuels. Eating contests befuddle us. And Dave's not as old as he's been feeling. OK Kids...it's time to get off our collective butts. This whole Bush administration thing has gotten out of hand. You must call your Representative and tell him or her to start working on Articles of Impeachment for both Bush It cannot wait until they get out of office in 2009. No more waiting around...you make the call and they get it going. http://www.house.gov/. Top left corner is a place to put your zip code in to find your representative. They're on vacation so call their local office. Do it NOW.

Nuclear energy is always in the news, but how much do you know about nuclear fission and what happens to nuclear waste? To find out how it works, Anna Lacey and Dave Ansell visit Sizewell B power station in Suffolk, and studio guest Ian Farnan discusses nuclear waste disposal and why current methods might not contain the radiation for as long as we thought. But as clinical radiologist Anant Krishnan explains, radiation plays a crucial role in medicine, including allowing us to see broken bones and killing off tumours. Sticking with uses of radiation that save lives, Anna and Dave find out how a smoke detector works in Kitchen Science.
