WTH Is America Bracing for Blackouts? Robert Bryce On How the Green Energy Movement Is Putting Our Power at Risk

This summer is predicted to hold the worst blackouts that America
has seen in recent memory – stories of individuals dying from
heat grace the headlines of the same news outlets that report
John Kerry’s statement that the US will be coal-free in 8 short
years. Indeed, the logical inconsistency in the argument pushed
by the green energy movement has never been so stark: if we don’t
have a better energy alternative right now, why are we shuttering
coal plants and discounting the benefit of nuclear plants? If we
are truly experiencing more variable weather due to climate
change, why are we focusing on solar and wind technology reliant
on particular weather conditions? And, all that not to mention
the predicted 233% increase in electricity prices this summer to
complement prices at the pump.


Robert Bryce joins us to talk through these questions, offer
policy solutions, and more. He's the Austin, Texas-based host of
the Power Hungry podcast, as well as executive producer of a
documentary called Juice: How Electricity Explains the World, and
the author of six books. The most recent one is called A Question
of Power: Electricity and the Wealth of Nations.
