Hour 1 of Rush to Reason sets a powerful tone for Health and Wellness Wednesday as John Rush welcomes guests who challenge listeners to rethink stress, purpose, and personal health during the most demanding season of the year. Financial expert Al Smith of Golden Eagle Financial (https://goldeneaglefinancialltd.com/) opens with urgent year-end reminders and a bigger question: what if the most meaningful gift isn't money at all, but service to those quietly struggling around us? The conversation then turns inward with Owen Marcus, founder and CEO of MELD (Men's Emotional Leadership Development / https://meld.community) and author of Grow Up: A Man's Guide to Emotional Maturity. Why do so many men try to carry holiday pressure alone? Owen explains how chronic stress affects the body and reveals simple tools — breathwork, connection, and co-regulation — that can restore resilience when life feels overwhelming. Finally, Dr. Julie Gatz dives into “jingle belly” season, exposing how skipping breakfast, dehydration, cravings, and digestive distress may be sabotaging energy and brain health. Could smarter food choices, hydration, and listening to your gut be the key to surviving the holidays feeling stronger instead of stuffed?

The conversation then turns fiery as John takes on Colorado's power outages, questions Xcel Energy, and lawsuits tied to the Marshall Fire, and asks whether politics and the courts are leaving everyday people in the dark. Who's really responsible — utilities, lawmakers, judges, or underprepared homeowners? Hour 2 closes with Sunny Kutcher of Young Americans Against Socialism (https://www.yaas.org), diving into President Trump's tough stance on cartels, border security, and Venezuela. Is this saber-rattling… or strength through peace? From fentanyl deaths to socialist collapse, Sunny challenges listeners to look at history and ask: what should America do when families and freedoms are at stake? HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush to Reason tackles high-stakes economics and global power as John Rush welcomes two sharp minds to break down what's next for America.

The hour then shifts into market reality with Scott Garliss of Bent Pine Capital (https://www.bentpinecapital.com), who dives into tech stock sell-offs, inflation data, and why the Fed's rate decisions affect everything from credit cards to mortgages. Scott also unpacks China's weakening economy, Trump's tariff strategy, and where smart money could move next. Could small-cap stocks be the sleeper play for 2026? From debt and inflation to trade wars and opportunity, Hour 3 asks: are we ready for the economic crossroads ahead?

AP's Lisa Dwyer reports on a settlement with an energy company over a deadly Colorado wildfire.

Xcel Energy customers could see their electric bills jump by an average of $13 a month next year. That's if state regulators approve the rate hikes the company is proposing: 9.6 percent for 2025 and another 3.6 percent for 2026. Xcel, which is Minnesota's largest electricity provider, says the higher rates will fund investments in reliability, clean energy and its nuclear plants – and help it prepare for higher energy use in the future. The Public Utilities Commission, which is the board that regulates utilities in Minnesota, is holding meetings around the state this month to gather public input.

There's a virtual public hearing on electric rates Tuesday evening at 6:30 p.m. Others are scheduled around the state through next Thursday. In a statement to MPR News, Xcel wrote, “We are committed to meeting our state's growing demand for electricity, maintaining reliable service, working toward a cleaner energy future and keeping costs low for our customers. Our proposal reflects the needs expressed by our customers as they electrify their homes and businesses and invest in economic development.”

Allen Hall: Starting off the week, the European Investment Bank is making bold moves to accelerate wind energy development across Europe, signing significant agreements with both BNP Paribas and Banco Satandier. These partnerships will generate up to 16 billion euros in wind energy investments through innovative counter guarantee agreements. The initiatives are part of the EIB's broader 5 billion euro wind power package, demonstrating Europe's commitment to renewable energy expansion and industrial competitiveness. The deals will enable manufacturers to receive advanced payments and provide performance guarantees for new wind projects, while also supporting supply chain efficiency and grid interconnections. This financing structure is backed by Invest eu, the eus ambitious program aiming to mobilize over 372 billion euros in investments by 2027. 2400 onshore wind turbines representing 14 gigawatts of capacity. While the upcoming election has introduced some uncertainty with skepticism from leading parties, Industry experts still remain optimistic. The CDU, likely to lead the next government, is expected to maintain support for wind energy given its reliability and cost effectiveness in producing clean energy. Over in the UK, Octopus Energy's groundbreaking investment platform, The Collective, has demonstrated remarkable success with its first two wind projects selling out within just one week. The platform democratizes renewable energy investment by allowing public participation with investments ranging from 25 to 20, 000 with no fees. Located in Yorkshire and Wales, these projects attracted hundreds of investors. And the company is now expanding to expand the platform through its Pass the Power campaign, inviting more renewable energy projects to list on the platform. And in the United States, despite challenging political headwinds, Xcel Energy is making significant progress in renewable energy deployment in the Upper Midwest. Their ambitious plan includes adding 3, 400 megawatts of wind energy and 550 megawatts of solar power. The company aims to retire all coal plants in the region by 2030 and potentially reduce emissions by up to 88 percent compared to 2005 levels. The plan also includes innovative energy storage solutions including testing new iron air battery technology at their Becker site. That's this week's top news stories. Stay tuned tomorrow for the Uptime Wind Energy podcast with Rosemary Barnes, Joel Saxum, Phil Totaro, and me.

Massive wildfires in the U.S. have caused widespread damage in recent decades. The Smokehouse Creek Fire in Texas this year, the Marshall Fire in Colorado in 2021 and a series of fires in California in 2020 that were the worst in the state's history are just a few examples. Over the past few decades, the U.S. has spent more than a billion dollars annually to fight wildfires, including $3.5 billion in 2022.In the past few years, legislators concerned about this trend have asked utilities to provide disaster mitigation plans. In Washington state last year, bipartisan legislation was enacted that requires utilities to provide wildfire mitigation plans for legislators to review. Rep. Kristine Reeves (D) of Washington state joined the podcast to discuss the origin of the legislation in her state and why it's important for legislators to review and understand the steps utilities are taking to reduce the risk of wildfires, particularly in Western states. Also joining the podcast was Anne Sherwood, area vice president for wildfire mitigation for Xcel Energy, a utility that operates in eight states. She explained how utilities are using wildfire mitigation plans to try to prevent wildfires and also to better manage the effect on utilities when fires do start. 

From data centers to growth — electricity demand in Minnesota is rising.That's led Xcel Energy to request a 13 percent rate increase over the next two years and increase capital spending by $11 billion.Walker Orenstein, reporter at the Minnesota Star Tribune, said the utility has plans to make major infrastructure investments.

Dozens of lineworkers from Minnesota utilities are on their way to the Southeast U.S. to help restore power in the wake of Hurricane Helene. The Minnesota Rural Electric Association says 18 power cooperatives across the state are sending a total of 80 workers to the region for one to two weeks — and possibly longer. They will be working to repair outages for three co-ops in South Carolina. One of those co-ops reported 98 percent of its system down following the high winds and flooding. Xcel Energy says it has sent more than 100 employees from Minnesota, Wisconsin, South Dakota and other states to help in the Southeast.And the WNBA semifinals series between the Minnesota Lynx and the Connecticut Sun continues tonight in Connecticut. So far, the series is even with the Lynx losing one of their two games at home in Minneapolis.This is an MPR News morning update, hosted by Phil Picardi.

It's Tuesday, and we're digging into the biggest stories of the week. First, what should the City of Denver do with a decommissioned, old power plant? The clock is ticking for a potential purchase, so producer Paul Karolyi is sitting down with Westword editor Patty Calhoun to discuss why Xcel Energy hasn't demolished the plant in Sun Valley and the possibility that it could be converted into a new food hall, as neighbors have been hoping for years. Plus, Colorado's most famous election denier could be going to prison. As the jury deliberates in the case of former Mesa County clerk Tina Peters, Paul and Patty review the arguments on both sides and the implications for November's election.
