The Conflict in Venezuela and US Role

Lucas Koerner counters the disinformation campaign in the corporate press about Venezuela. He has been a writer at Venezuelanalysis.com for over 3 years and resides in Caracas. He addresses the recent elections and explains the constitutional process and the constituent assembly, and what changes might be proposed by the assembly and why. He speaks of class and race hatred toward the mass of Venezuelan society that pervade the opposition and how its leadership trashed democratic institutions and initiated a reign of terror during the short lived coup of 2002. Koerner also addresses the failings of the PSUV, the ruling party, corruption, communes, popular assemblies, and the grass roots militias that have kept pressure on the government to not compromise with the neoliberal efforts intent on destroying the basic gains in living standards of the Venezuelan masses achieved by the revolution.

Orange County: Wastewater Reuse Leader

What would you say to the idea of drinking a tall, cool glass of wastewater? On the face of it, it sounds, well, yucky. But it turns out you've probably been drinking it all along. There's good technology now for extracting impurities and making even the dirtiest water potable. And some water districts around the country are taking this technology to scale. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak with Mike Markus, the General Manager of the Orange County, California Water District. Orange County's practices may represent the high water-mark for the re-use of H2O. Markus and host Alex Wise discuss the innovative technology the district uses to clean its wastewater, examine the costs compared to other alternatives like desalination, and talk about his team's efforts to overcome common misperceptions about turning wastewater into clean drinking water.

Takin' It To The Streets: Solar Roadways Update

What if the roads we drove on, instead of being made of carbon-intensive petroleum sludge, were actually solar panels? And what if whenever electric vehicles drove on these solar roads, they were automatically re-charged? Sounds like a fiction, wishful thinking, a dream? Well, here at Sea Change Radio we like to celebrate the dreamers, and in 2014 we profiled Solar Roadways, a hot new startup at the time, based on the wild idea of paving roads with solar panels. There were critics who pooh-poohed the idea, but there were also a lot of us who fell in love with it. This week on Sea Change Radio, we give our listeners an update on the progress being made to bring this innovative technology to the streets, in Europe and via US government contracts. We talk to the co-founders of Solar Roadways, Scott and Julie Brusaw to get the latest on their company, learn about dynamic charging technology, and allow them to respond to criticism about their product.

The Beginning of the Nuclear Age (TWO of TWO)

The Italian physicist Enrico Fermi set off the first nuclear chain reaction in an underground tennis-court at the University of Chicago in 1942. His experiment led directly to the building of the plutonium bomb that destroyed the city of Nagasaki. Exactly 25 years after that experiment, with Fermi already dead of radiation induced leukemia, a statue by Henry Moore was unveiled on December 2, 1967, at that location, to commemorate the first self sustained nuclear chain reaction. Boal describes the fascinating clash of ideas, from the early anti nuclear resistance by SDS students in the US and the British CND (Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament), to the visual impression of Moore's statue that seems to depict a skull plus storm trooper helmet plus mushroom cloud. Ignoring the early resistance to nuclear power scientists still envisioned thousands of nuclear power plants while discussing already how one could possibly keep nuclear waste safe for tens of thousands of years. Iain Boal is co-editor of Resisting the Virtual Life, published by City Lights Books and the author of the history of the bicycle: The Green Machine (2011). Boal was educated at Oxford, Cambridge and London Universities and has taught at Harvard, Stanford and UC Berkeley.

Ivan Karakashian on the abuse of Palestinian children by the Israeli military

This important episode is from 3-19-2017 in our archives. One of the great horrors of the Israeli occupation of Palestine is the brutal treatment of children by the Israeli military. Today we get a vivid look at the abuse of Palestinian children by the Israeli military through the eyes of Ivan Karakashian, who represents Defense for Children International Palestine (DCIP). DCIP defends, or attempts to defend, children caught up in the Israeli military courts. These are Palestinian children. Israeli children when arrested are processed in the Israeli civil court process…NEVER in military courts. Just the opposite is true of Palestinian children, who are ONLY processed in the military courts, and what a difference! Karakashian spells out some of the horrifying details. Thanks to Steve Low and the GRALTA foundation for shepherding a Boston-area group to Israel/Palestine and recording Karakashian's presentation to the group.

"Russiagate" and the American Empire

In 1934 the great German communist playwright Bertolt Brecht wrote an essay entitled “Writing the Truth: Five Difficulties”, which he begins by saying “Nowadays, anyone who wishes to combat lies and ignorance and to write the truth must overcome at least five difficulties. He must have the courage to write the truth when truth is everywhere opposed; the keenness to recognize it, although it is everywhere concealed; the skill to manipulate it as a weapon; the judgment to select those in whose hands it will be effective; and the cunning to spread the truth among such persons. These are formidable problems for writers living under fascism, but they exist also for those writers who have fled or been exiled; they exist even for writers working in countries where civil liberty prevails.” In this era of omnipresent imperialist propaganda and scaremongering, these are very important words to keep in mind.
