By Newest Podcasts, Uncategorized

And his first hand experience of The Gulf of Tonkin Deception

In spite of some skepticism Ellsberg moved the audience with one of the most [ . . . ]

The Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power plant in California may get another extension to operate

By Newest Podcasts, Uncategorized

Diablo Canyon was scheduled to close by 2025
Governor Gavin Newsom got a bill approved in California’s assembly and senate (SB-846), that changed state law so the operator of Diablo Canyon, Pacific Gas and Electric, (PG&E) can receive at least $1.4 billion of taxpayer and ratepayer money to keep the compromised Diablo Canyon nuclear reactors operating.
Even before construction at Diablo Canyon began in the 1960s local and national organizations campaigned to prevent the plant from being built on the California coast line on top of several earthquake faults and in a tsunami zone.

TUC Radio’s 30th Anniversary Celebration – ARCHIVE
Looking back over the last three decades and trying to understand the heating of the climate and the melting glaciers and the poisoning of all waters and the air; and when hard pressed to put it all into one sentence I used to say that the worlds largest corporations re-wrote the rules of international globalized trade that accelerated mining and manufacturing and transport and fuel extraction and led to climate collapse and concentrated power in very few hands.
In the 1990s I worked as radio producer with the IFG, The International Forum on Globalization. They pointed out that the globalized trade rules of the GATT and the WTO fundamentally limited rights and power [ . . . ]

David Brower in conversation with Arne Naess – The Arch Druid meets the Loch Ness Monster

By Amazing Speakers & Events, Philosophy, Uncategorized

On a windy evening in the summer of 1988 two of the great environmentalists of our time had their first and only meeting on the Marin Headlands. Their paths should have crossed many times; both mountain climbers, they trekked in the Himalayan mountains, both are almost cult figures with their followers. When they finally met they
discovered that they were the same age, 86. This is the only recording, and the first broadcast, of that meeting.
