    Weren't we shocked green divas to learn that there's nothing natural about natural gas! It makes perfect sense -- duh. It's all a big marketing hoax and most of us fell for it for far too long. The true cost of natural gas is an environmental disaster. Especially fracking it and liquifying it in order to export it -- for the benefit of fossil fuel companies and executives.  We learned this and a great deal more from Kelly Sheehan, who is the Senior Director of Energy Campaigns for the Sierra Club. She's helping communities along the Gulf Coast fight against 20+ proposed LNG (Liquid Natural Gas) pipelines and distribution hubs that would devastate this beautiful coast.

We never know what Mother Nature has in store, especially in the era of climate crisis, but that doesn't stop people from planting their Brandywines, Cherokee Purples, Wisconsin 55s and Green Zebras. Mike and Peggy talk to two nationally recognized tomato breeders--Craig LeHoullier, author of Epic Tomatoes: How to Select and Grow the Best Varieties of All Time, and Keith Mueller, who has been working with the Seed to Kitchen Collaborative at the University of Wisconsin, among other groups. Their nicknames are, respectively, "NC Tomatoman" and "KC Tomato."
