Air Date 11/26/2023 As the hottest year in 125,000 years or so begins to come to a close, we turn to two projects still in their infancy that have big plans to decarbonize our electricity generation on one hand and give us a bit more time to turn our climate futures around on the other. The first is a reinvigoration of the geothermal power industry with the hopes of scaling up globally and the second is geo-engineering which aims to reduce the solar radiation hitting the planet to reduce devastating climate impacts while the world finishes up the work of going carbon neutral. Both ideas are a little scary, either or both could be brilliant or disastrous. The two things that are clear to me are that failure in the face of climate chaos will definitely be disastrous and any ideas with a reasonable chance of helping deserve further study.

Eleanor LeCain talks about the victory of stopping the Atlantic Coast and Dakota pipelines and the current state of climate action with Mike Tidwell, founder and director of Chesapeake Climate Action Network in Maryland, DC, and Virginia. (www.Chesapeakeclimate.org)  

Environmentalists contend that Gov. Hogan’s proposals for cutting greenhouse gas emissions in the next decade won’t go far enough to deter climate change. They say that plan is unrealistic in relying on fossil fuels and is counting on hundreds of thousands of Maryland drivers to switch to electric vehicles. Mike Tidwell heads the Chesapeake Climate Action Network, and claims there is no substance to Gov. Hogan’s greenhouse reduction plan. But Environment Secretary Ben Grumbles touts the substance of the governor’s proposals for less carbon in generating electricity -- called 'CARES.' Grumbles claims the plan recognizes the need for renewable and cleaner energy incentives. How far apart are environmentalists and the Hogan administration?

Get your 7-Day Mind Detox here http://www.drjonr.com/gift   Mike Tidwell is a great friend and nature enthusiast who resides in Reliz Canyon in Central California with his family. He is an insurance guy by trade and an Earth history student by heart. He loves to study the "nature of things," Essentially having fun trying to understand how things work. We are here only such a short period of time, and it would be a shame to pass through life without knowing the origin and the who and the what of our surroundings. The universe is a very strange place when you sit down and really think about it.    The plan was simple,  keep his day job and explore the nature of things whenever possible. But the more he learned about his surroundings, the more nagging doubts began to creep into his mind that the way he was raised to live was not, in any way, sustainable. Each year seemed to bear ever more spectacular losses to natural systems and the damage to the atmosphere from carbon emissions criminal. He did not reach this conclusion lightly.    The first time, he got the feeling that something was wrong with the environment, happened on a trip he made to the Monte Verde Cloud Forest in Costa Rica in 1988. One of the interesting denizens of this forest was a beautiful amphibian called the Golden Frog. He remembers very clearly the frustration our guide felt as he searched the forest looking for what is normally a very common and easy animal to spot in these forests. Later he learned that he had just missed seeing them. A month earlier the frogs were common, and suddenly they were nowhere to be found. In fact, no one ever saw them again; these frogs had gone extinct. Shocking information for sure. But why? What had caused the forest to lose one of its most iconic animals?      The complete loss of the Golden Frog from the pristine forest was disturbing and it got his attention like a snake in the trail. At once he wondered if this was just an isolated incident or was it part of a much larger problem. The population of humans was at an all-time high, and so it was logical to assume some level of loss. Once he started to look for loss, he found it virtually everywhere, even in areas of perfect wilderness. Now he was really hooked. So what started out as a birding trip, turned into a lifelong quest to understand why the environment was falling apart en masse.    He went on like this for a while, then one Saturday in 2002 it hit him---the real culprit must be carbon. But how could he be sure? He then ran to the bookstore and got nothing. He felt he might be on to something big. Like the end of life as we know it type deal, so he ran back home and began pulling information off the internet. He had to know, he couldn't wait so he decided to research it on his own.     He went down the rabbit hole, researching relentlessly every single day for 4 years straight. Excited to share what he found, he started going to authorities in an effort to try to raise awareness and change our policies on carbon emission. He thought everyone would care about what he had to say because this matter is relevant to all life on earth. It turned out to be a major disappointment because he was met with so much resistance. He then decided to invest his life's savings in the renewable energy technology instead. A decision that would change his life, for if the project failed he realized that he would have to work until the day he died.    Through many ups and downs, the company Apparent Inc turned out to be successful as the first solar power plant in the world to provide grid support. The first one of its kind and his company is revolutionizing the way we manage the grid. Unfortunately, the stress of this process have accumulated in his body and manifested itself as prostate cancer. He will talk about that journey and how he overcame it and what he had learned in the process

Caroline's guest is Mike Tidwell, author of The Ravaging Tide – Strange Weather, Future Katrinas, and the Coming Death of America's Coastal Cities. Caroline has often said the if America's soul had a physical address it would be New Orleans, and that the fate of New Orleans will be America's fate, and so it is – metaphorically, symbiotically, and now – truly- literally. As there were both ample warning, and competent preventive measures long before (30 years) Katrina struck – so now, the same is true on a Global level. Critique and solutions. The post The Visionary Activist Show – August 23, 2007 appeared first on KPFA.

Marty, who has spent a lifetime unraveling the mysteries of the world's religions, discusses his latest book on the mystery of childhood and what adults can learn from it.
