The Electric Revolution: Coming to Your Home

Our Homes' Huge Carbon Footprint

As slow as our utilities are moving away from fossil fuel, they are making progress. Solar and wind just passed coal and are solidly into the double digit. Would that our homes could say the same. We are going nowhere inside the house replacing furnaces with heat pumps, gas ranges with induction ovens and so much more. Making it worse, is that the more energy efficient equipment and appliances work better and can be more economical than the fossil fuel crud. Tune to hear what needs to be done at home to make life better for all of us. barry.rehfeld@gmail.com

Solar, Wind and Veggies

Fossil fuel rightly gets the blame for heating up the earth because of carbon emissions. Less discussed, though no less lethal is what it is doing to our water supply. Producing power and feeding methane-releasing machines, also known as cattle, take a lot of fresh water. Solar and wind don't take any. Veggies very little. If we don't make the switch to solar, wind and veggies or, at least, chicken, we are going to be one thirsty world all too soon, especially in places out west. Tune in the hear all about it.  barry.rehfeld@gmail.com

Countdown To Day Zero

We are running out of fresh water. Indeed, some places have already run out and it will only get worse. Large cities have had to impose increasingly tough restrictions on water use. Small towns are seeing their population shrink to virtually nothing. There is a term for when a community runs out of water. It's called Day Zero. Tune in to see where this is happening and how soon Day Zero will become a fact of life throughout the country barry.rehfeld@gmail.com

Earthly Ignorance

No subject is too insignificant to rank ahead of climate change in the minds of what's important to Americans. Well, at least ten do, including immigrations, gun rights, the national debt and gas prices. Yet, nothing will matter if the earth melts, burns up, sinks beneath the waves or all of the above. We need to make the environment number one. Tune in to see why having our eyes focused on so much is the wrong way to go. barry.rehfeld@gmail.com

Wellness Ripoff

Healthy activities - walking, eating vegetables, drinking water - doesn't sell, not the way wellness - supplements, yoga, pilates, vitamins, testosterone therapy and retreats - does. That's why the wellness trend is sweeping the nation. It's good business. It is also a waste of money for consumers. Hear why by tuning in.  barry.rehfeld@gmail.com
