Podcast appearances and mentions of miriam grunstein

Cuando alguien que amamos muere es normal sentir tristeza y que amigos y familiares nos acompañen en el duelo. Pero cuando muere uno de nuestros animales, se minimiza su importancia y no contamos con el apoyo que necesitamos. Miriam Grunstein, tanatóloga veterinaria, habla de cómo acompaña a personas y familias en este duro trance y acerca de las distintas etapas del duelo. Que importante es que cada perro y cada gato tengan la posibilidad de recibir atención medica personalizada. Pero ¿sabías que los grandes refugios tienen que separar a los animales en grupos? Por ejemplo, por edad, tamaño o tipo de padecimiento. La MVZ Irasema Aguayo, nos platica cómo se ejerce la medicina en un lugar que alberga a 1000 perros. Señala que el padecimiento más recurrente entre estos animales, son las enfermedades periodentales, lo que puede tener grandes alcances en el deterioro de su salud. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Just across the Arizona border lies the dry, hot northern Mexico state of Sonora. It's known for its abundant minerals, and it sees more than 300 days a year of clear sky and sunshine — prime real estate for something like a massive solar plant,  or several of them.Mexico plans to do just that, building solar plants across Sonora, and it hopes to inaugurate the first project next month.But that's just the first stage. Within a few years, officials say it will be generating a gigawatt of energy, roughly the output of a nuclear power plant. Once completed, it'll be the eighth-largest solar plant in the world.President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said it's just the beginning."We've already begun the solar plant in Puerto Peñasco and the idea is to replicate it. Make five plants, and at the same time, run those electric lines to the border,” he told press late last year, adding that Mexico could even supply energy to the United States.  But there's a problem. These solar projects are to be run by Mexico's state-owned company. The US and Canada say it is a violation of trade agreeements — an issue that's central to the talks between the leaders of Canada, the US and Mexico, which are underway in Mexico City this week.In recent years, López Obrador has pushed an energy policy that, in short, has prioritized largely coal-powered energy from the state electricity company, sidelining renewables and private and foreign energy firms. Mexican energy consultant Arturo Carranza said the move has been harshly criticized "not only by opposition political parties, but also by private companies already involved in Mexico's electricity sector. For them, this reform represented a change in the rules under which they had decided to bring their investments."The US and Canada have demanded that Mexico rescind the priority status of the state electricity company and treat all firms equally. López Obrador responded by saying that his government has a right to prioritize Mexican state companies.Last July, the US and Canada filed a complaint against Mexico for breaking rules under the North American free trade deal, known as the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). It states that Mexico cannot prioritize state businesses over the private sector. They also accused López Obrador of disincentivizing investment in clean energy.Energy consultant Carranza said the Sonora plan is Mexico's way of offering a carrot to the United States and Canada — a promise of clean energy. The plan would also include the extraction of lithium, in part, for the US microchip industry and for car manufacturing.Analysts say it's a step in the right direction, but it only partially resolves the root of the energy conflict. Plus, it's not clear that Mexico could even get the full plan off the drawing board. "As a Mexican, I would love it if Plan Sonora could generate, transform, drive and supply 40% of the country with clean energy,” said Miriam Grunstein, chief energy counsel at Brilliant Energy Consulting. "But that's just a fantasy." Even if Mexico could muster the funds to build the plants, Grunstein said, Mexico's electricity grid would have to be updated to carry the new load, something that Mexico is not investing in. University of Mexico economist Juan Carlos Moreno-Brid said not to expect anything substantial from this week's summit."There will be nice words for the public,” he explained. "But behind the scenes, Canada and the United States are going to pressure Mexico hard to continue to change its energy policy.”And that pressure may have an impact. Mexico imports roughly 70% of its natural gas, gasoline and diesel from the United States. And the US receives 80% of Mexico's exports, which is a huge driver of the Mexican economy.Moreno-Brid said that means the US has huge leverage to force Mexico to eventually bring its energy policy into line, negotiating power that will likely eventually have an impact, with or without Plan Sonora. Related: In the north of Mexico, water cuts to cope with shortages hit poor communities hardest

Miriam Grunstein, especialista en temas energéticos, comentó con Luis Cárdenas sobre la visita de Jennifer Granholm, secretaria de energía de Estados Unidos.

La académica del Rice University afirmó que el litio no es un tema técnicamente prioritario, pero sí políticamente negociable

“Estamos mal en generación eléctrica. Estamos como en un 6.5. Vamos rumbo a un 4.”

Empezamos nuestro programa con el análisis y debate de los temas relevantes del día en el estudio por parte de nuestro conductor Víctor Sánchez Baños. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

La experta en temas energéticos señaló que uno de los problemas es que Pemex haya asumidos el control total en este momento que no está generando los mejores resultados

La analista de energía Miriam Grunstein del Instituto Baker Política Pública opina sobre las dificultades que atraviesa la empresa, la caída del petróleo y la responsabilidad del Gobierno.

Miriam Grunstein, analista en temas energéticos, explica que Estados Unidos dejará de comprar crudo a México por el exceso de producción que tienen almacenado, y que, en parte, esto es lo que ha llevado a los precios del barril de petróleo a números negativos. Sin embargo, Grunstein también dice que Estados Unidos y México pueden encontrar una forma de ayudarse en esta crisis.

Este fin de semana se llevaron a cabo una serie de reuniones y negociaciones para recortar la producción de petróleo en el mundo, pues ha tenido y tendrá afectaciones importantes para muchos países debido a su bajo precio. En esta situación, México no es la excepción, pero nuestra Secretaria de Energía decidió hacer un papelón y retrasar las negociaciones. Miriam Grunstein viene a explicarnos por qué esto nos deja como el invitado borracho que arruina la boda. ¿En qué piensan las autoridades? ¿En serio EU nos hará "un favor"? ¡No se lo pierdan!

Miriam Grunstein es una de las especialistas más reconocidas en materia energética. Miriam ha visto de todo, pero se muestra sorprendida ante las políticas energéticas de la 4T. Abi le preguntó si la política energética muestra un regreso hacia los 70's y si la refinería de Dos Bocas efectivamente resolverá todos los problemas del sector, así como la soberanía energética. Spoiler alert: No.El futuro de la reforma energética no es halagüeño, y esto significa que nuestra agenda de transición energética a recursos renovables y no contaminantes también se ve más lejana. La política energética del país es, como pocas, absolutamente escencial para el desarrollo económico y social. Como en muchas otras áreas, las apuestas de la 4T podrían tener repercusiones importantes en el futuro del país. Acompáñennos a conocer todo lo que esta experta vino a contarnos en Política 101.
