We sit down with former US Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz to discuss his current research agenda, the role of innovation in tackling climate change, his plans for a “Green Real Deal,” the fate of the JCPOA, and what first got him interested in physics way back when.
An update from Governor Scott Walker on the left's unhinged impeachment attempt and the media's double standard while Trump speaks at the United Nations. A breakdown of recent climate activism, highlighting the double standards of those that push for this detrimental impact on our economy (as China and other major violators are left out of many discussions). Plus, a few common-sense solutions that should be part of the Green Real Deal. All this and more on "You Can't Recall Courage" with Governor Scott Walker. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/scottwalker/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/scottwalker/support
Like what you see? Please give generously. http://www.thinktechhawaii.com On Energy In America. Ernest Moniz, who was the energy secretary from 2013 to 2017 under President Obama, recently delivered a speech at a U.S. Chamber of Commerce meeting in D.C. on energy innovation. In what he’s calling the 'Green Real Deal,' Moniz says building broad coalitions — including with big business — will be essential to drastically reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the next 30 years. 'If one is not pragmatic and pushes programs that are tough but at least achievable and if we can’t pull together and recognize the needs of a broad coalition, we won’t get there.' Moniz, who now runs the think tank Energy Futures Initiative, is respected by many environmentalists and business leaders alike, so what he says could influence people across the political spectrum. Backers of the Green New Deal, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and numerous Democratic presidential candidates, blame big business for blocking action and are pushing broad progressive policies that are unlikely to get support from fossil fuel companies or trade groups like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Moniz said speaking at the Chamber appealed to him because the powerful lobby group, long known for fighting climate-change policies, has “put out some strong statements recently about needing to move beyond the inaction phase.' The host for this episode is Jay Fidell. The guest for this episode is Luciano Pugliaresi.
The climate conversation in Washington has changed enough that Democrats and Republicans are talking climate deals. A lot of that change can be attributed to the Green New Deal, a Democratic resolution introduced by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Ed Markey. “What we're doing with the Green New Deal is we’re putting together an army that won't just be a resolution, it's a revolution,” boasts Markey, who has served over 40 years in Congress and co-authored the last big legislative push for national climate policy a decade ago. Markey says that he and AOC “share a passion to create a movement which is going to change the relationship between the American people and the fossil fuel industry.” That relationship is also targeted in the Green Real Deal, a market-based alternative to the Green New Deal put forward by Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida. “Fossil fuels are not our future. They just aren’t,” proclaims Gaetz, very much out of step with GOP orthodoxy in general and the current administration’s policies in particular. Less surprising than a Republican proposing to eliminate fossil fuel subsidies is that a GOP call for climate action is coming from Florida. Gaetz, whose district in the Florida panhandle was battered by Hurricane Michael in 2018 is an ardent supporter of President Trump – except when it comes to climate science. “You can either believe the climate deniers, or you can believe your lying eyes,” he says, “and I'm from the pro-science wing of the Republican Party.” But are there really any prospects for a legislative deal passing while a pro-fossil fuel climate denier occupies the White House? “It's more likely to see ideas like this passing as ballot initiatives in states as test kitchens that can then kind of branch out to other states than something really holistically passing through Congress before 2020,” says Miranda Green, an energy and environment reporter covering Congress for The Hill. Still, Green is impressed with Gaetz’s fossil fuel iconoclasm and even with Trump’s apparent need to address climate – if never actually by name – in a recent White House speech. “It shows that the issue of climate change has really put itself at the center of politics right now,” she says, “at the center of the political debate.” Guests: Senator Ed Markey, D-MA Representative Matt Gaetz, R-FL Miranda Green, Energy and Environment Reporter, The Hill Related links: Sunrise Movement: The Green New Deal Congressman Matt Gaetz Unveils the “Green Real Deal” Articles by Miranda Green
With the Green New Deal, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's vision challenges her own party to go further and faster on climate action than ever before. Her co-sponsor, Sen. Ed Markey, has spent 40 years in Congress and has similar experience pushing for bold climate action. Meanwhile, Rep. Matt Gaetz vigorously supports President Trump – except when it comes to climate and extreme weather, which have battered his Florida district. Gaetz's Green Real Deal is a market-based alternative to the Green New Deal's regulatory approach. So what is the deal with climate action in Congress? Learn more about your ad choices.

Democrats are dominating the public dialogue on climate change. That is just a fact. It’s part of their party platform in a way that it’s simply not for Republicans. And yet, things aren’t entirely black and white — or blue and red. In this episode, we look at a range of Republican views on climate issues, from flat out denialism to reticent acceptance to legitimate climate commitments. We discuss President Trump’s replacement for Obama’s Clean Power Plan, we look at new polling numbers that show Republican voters are concerned about their party’s stance on climate change, and we dig into conservative alternatives to the Green New Deal.The Republican Party stance on climate change is shifting — but will any conservative climate proposals actually address the issue?We sit down with former six-term South Carolina Congressman Bob Inglis, a thought leader of the eco-right, to get his take is on the current state of American politics and hear how he’s continuing to advance a conservative climate platform through his non-profit RepublicEN.

This week, the Green New Deal ripples through Washington.A few leading Republicans are responding to the progressive climate plan with some ideas of their own: the New Manhattan Project and the Green Real Deal. They’ve gotten a mostly cold response from the left. But have we finally broken the ice for a legitimate cross-party policy discussion on climate? We’ll look at the GOP responses.Then, Trump’s latest verbal convulsion. Speaking at a fundraiser, the president said wind noise causes cancer and kills property values. We’ll take this opportunity to review what the literature says about the impact of wind.Finally, we’ll go to Virginia, where there’s been a ton of legislative activity on solar, efficiency, grid infrastructure and climate — some of which was blocked by the state’s mega-utility Dominion Energy.

Gaetz isn't on this show even though I told his office we'd be talking about his Green Real Deal. He is my Congressman and that's why I wanted to go over his plan. My recommendation is that he pursue his good goals, of improving the electric grid, pursuing cheaper and better sources of energy, and creating tax incentives at innovation, but... separating himself from any connection to a "green" aka "socialist" ideology would be a better idea. That and give up on "climate change" as being a man made problem that can be cured by legislation, because it's all a hoax, just like the Mueller Commission, it's a cover up and cover for - socialism. Also, the OMG Report, 30 minutes into the show, with Wendy Arthur and her guest, Brother Boles, and his amazing theatrical / religious production that is reaching the high school kids, made for an incredible chat. Then I talked about Rep. Gaetz and climate change, until Hotep in the last 15 minutes called in from somewhere on the East Coast, and we had a great chat on sustainable and social justice aspects of corporations and corporate life, and how free markets and the Constitution are perfectly compatible.
