looking forward to it.
but geez tough time slot – up against PA election returns.
hopefully they run it again soon.
Yeah, and against American Idol, too. Even my wife made me tape it! But I just zoomed through it. Not bad. I’ll watch the whole thing tomorrow.
I missed the broadcast but saw the clips on the PBS website. Looks good, Joe! I hope the message gets out. Did they include all those clips in the final program? If so, it was the Joe Romm Show…
Well, I hope it helps.
Joe, you were good. The show overall, I think, was a flop. Besides rehearsing the standard “solutions” that won’t solve anything (Hydrogen, corn ethanol, the iceland approach, Lovins carbon vehicle, etc), the show left veritually *never* discussed alternatives like: OMG! driving less, using bicycles, buses and trains, telecommuting, etc.
GM even got a lot of backhanded promotion. Trip to MIT lab contributes nothing coherent at all, but hey Ray and Tom are alums.
A show like this makes me think James Kunstler is totally right in his “happy motoring” theory of America’s coming shock and terrible awakening. It won’t be pretty folks, but as a country we have earned every lump we get. Sad.
What’s it all to do with the climate? Or is that a cover for the real issue – “The American Way Of Life Is Not Negotiable?”
p.s. I live in the UK!
