In this episode of Flanigan's Eco-Logic, father-daughter duo, Ted and Sierra Flanigan host the clean energy crash course focusing on energy resilience, specifically on  electricity, highlighting the importance of durability and reliability in the face of changing climate conditions and extreme weather events. Resilience is simply keeping the lights on during utility emergencies, and more accurately, critical loads for medical equipment, communications, security systems, etc.As Southern California is still dealing with devastating wildfires, Ted addresses how resilience is now top of mind for homeowners, business owners, and EcoMotion's clients. Thousands of households and businesses have suffered, and will continue to suffer, from power outages – some for more than a day – as dangerously high wind gusts knock out electricity and utilities impose precautionary power safety shutdowns. With the imminent threat of climate change, the grid will undoubtedly become less stable as these events increase in the number and severity, posing economic impacts, and a danger to the health and lives. Ted discusses critical loads, shares his recommendations on making your home or business more energy resilient, highlights lessons learned from EcoMotion's resilience works, and addresses equitable pathways to foster resilience in the future.

(8:20am) We discuss the horrendous SoCal wildfires, the lack of preparation by state authorities, and the inept response by local and state officials. (8:35am) Mark Miller from the Pacific Legal Foundation talks about the TikTok "free speech vs. national security" case that's being heard today (Friday, Jan. 10) by the US Supreme Court. From Pacific Legal Foundation: This Friday, January 10, the Supreme Court will hear two hours of oral arguments in a high-stakes case that pits free speech against national security. At issue is TikTok’s appeal to block enforcement of the 2024 Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, which mandates TikTok’s shutdown in the U.S. unless parent company ByteDance divests its operations by January 19. The Stakes: TikTok’s Argument: With 170 million U.S. users, TikTok argues the law unconstitutionally silences “one of America’s most popular speech platforms,” violating the First Amendment. The Government’s Stance: ByteDance’s ties to China pose a national security threat, as the Chinese government could exploit user data. The lower court upheld the law, citing its bipartisan roots and focus on addressing foreign adversary threats. But SCOTUS will now weigh in. The Twist: President-Elect Donald J. Trump filed a surprising amicus brief, urging the Court to delay its decision so he can negotiate a deal to keep TikTok operational in the U.S. Focus issues: The First Amendment and national security implications. The broader legal implications of U.S.-China tech tensions. What this decision means for millions of American TikTok users.
