Fracking Moves To China, Part II

Last week on Sea Change Radio, we learned about the new shale gas boom in China. This week, in the second part of my discussion with Jaeah Lee and James West of Mother Jones, we examine the larger questions that surround this shift in Chinese energy policy. Can natural gas be a bridge fuel as the industrial giant weans itself off coal? Will there be enough water to extract China’s significant shale deposits? Will shale gas exploration further divide urban and rural China, or could it help to close the country’s income gap? West and Lee provide some answers to these complex questions, and also discuss the implications of Chinese investments into the U.S. natural gas sector. Will this big business alliance be good for consumers on either side of the Pacific? Find out on this week’s Sea Change Radio.

Fracking Moves To China, Part I

There is a relatively unanimous recognition that we inhabitants of earth really need to break our addiction to coal. It's filthy and there are so many cleaner energy sources. This mantra is now being repeated all over coal-dependent China, where shale gas resources appear to be abundant. It turns out, however, that the transition away from coal may not be so simple - or even a step in the right direction. Mother Jones journalists Jaeah Lee and James West spent a year investigating the ins and outs of the growing fracking industry in China. Host Alex Wise caught up with them before a recent panel discussion in San Francisco to talk about how U.S. oil and gas interests are exporting fracking around the globe and how the technology may pose risks in China that even exceed those associated with coal. Listen now to the first half of this two part series on today's Sea Change Radio.

3rd World Solidarity: Global Revolution And The Question Of African Political Integrity (10.13.2014)

The international struggle for human justice is the subject. #Ferguson, Missouri and the Occupied Territories of the Gaza have many similarities as well as many differences. Why are committed activists deeply involved within their respective struggles now quarrelling over whether or not the arbitrary killing of young African men in the US by law enforcement officers can and should be connected to the genocidal practises of the Jewish State in the Levant against Indigenous Palestinians (#JSIL). EXTRAS: archived audio from a lecture featuring radical educator Prof. Ward Churchill and activist/author Chellis Glendinning

The Ukraine Crisis and the Battle for Former Soviet Space

"As the war in Ukraine nears the six-month point and East-West tensions have plunged to their most dangerous level since the Cold War, the U.S.-led drive for domination of the former Soviet Union, Eurasia and the world as a whole has intensified to an unprecedented degree. The current war in Europe, fraught as it is with the menace of a military confrontation between the world's two major nuclear powers, the U.S. and Russia, marks the final act in over fifteen years of NATO expansion along the entire length of Russia's western border, the purpose of which has ever been the encroachment upon and the encirclement of Russia - first in Europe, then in the remainder of former Soviet territory. Russia's survival as a nation state necessitates a response to ever-expanding American and NATO military build-up aimed at the nation. For over twenty years the West has identified and prepared Ukraine as the linchpin in that historically decisive campaign. Program opens with the intercepted conversation between US diplomat Victoria Nuland and the US Ambassador to Ukraine during which they plan a coup de tat against the then Ukrainian government." (Open University of the Left)
