Hungary has survived the invasion of the Mongols, conquest by the Ottomans, and soul-wrenching occupations by Nazis and Communists. Now, the country is resisting authoritarian diktats from the E. U. Despite centuries of struggle, the country is resurrected from the ashes and arguably the most free in Europe. How did this happen? What did Hungary do right and what can we learn from their fight against totalitarianism?

  • Is Artificial Intelligence the Least Green Industry on Earth? Data Centers Would Experience a 10-Fold Increase in Energy Consumption

    Is Artificial Intelligence the Least Green Industry on Earth? Data Centers Would Experience a 10-Fold Increase in Energy Consumption
    May 2 2024
    Scientific American is sounding the alarm on the staggering energy demand that A I will add to globe: A conversion to A I would create a ten-fold increase in data centers’ energy consumption. Most of the projected energy use is fossil fuels and nuclear. Additionally, “…global data centers, on average, will add 50% to the energy cost” just to *cool* the machines. Jacki asks the question of who will win in the inevitable energy crisis? Humans or A I?

  • Should Pop Stars Evangelize Politics from the Stage or “Shut Up and Sing!”?

    Should Pop Stars Evangelize Politics from the Stage or “Shut Up and Sing!”?
    May 2 2024
    Should stars use concert stages and football fields as platforms for their politics or policy activism? John Cougar Mellencamp made news this week for leaving the stage after being challenged by his fans to “just play music!” rather than proselytizing his public policy views from the stage. Jacki is joined by Jeff Fisher of “Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher” to discuss. Jacki argues that the stage and field are not the *performer’s* platform, and that having to suffer through Mellencamp’s sermon should be a breach of contract for a ticket purchaser who thought they were exchanging big dollars for a performance of “Hurts So Good!”

  • More Bad News for Wind Power & Wildlife: Irreconcilable Differences

    More Bad News for Wind Power & Wildlife: Irreconcilable Differences
    May 2 2024
    Conservation: In an article by Nature titled, “Vultures Blind to the Dangers of Wind Farms; Collisions with Turbines a Result of Visual Adaptation for Foraging” we see an honest assessment of the danger wind farms pose to just one species. We learn why foragers actually have large blind spots - “despite having some of the sharpest eyes” of any animals. Unfortunately, the turbines are also deadly to an array of protected species including apex predators like the bald eagle, golden eagle, various hawks, and falcons. Jacki reviews the research.

  • TX Can’t Meet AC Electricity Demand…in April. Should Be a Riveting Summer!

    TX Can’t Meet AC Electricity Demand…in April. Should Be a Riveting Summer!
    May 2 2024
    As noted by the WSJ Editorial Board, the Texas grid is already running low on power – and Texas is only facing “not-so-sizzling” 80s temperatures. It’s April. What happens when temps spike above 100 in July and over 30 million Texans jack up the AC? The Journal cites surging population and energy-guzzling AI and data centers, urging readers to buy generators and to not plan on plugging in their EV in the afternoon peak period. Jacki adds the quiet part the WSJ left out.

  • Energy & Environment Voters Could Decide the Next Election

    Energy & Environment Voters Could Decide the Next Election
    May 2 2024
    Our friends at Energy Impact USA have profiled American attitudes on U.S. oil and gas production, and we were surprised to learn that only half of “energy voters” are conservative. Jacki breaks down the numbers on this surprising wedge issue. The numbers prove that a balanced energy and environment debate is getting through to Americans across the political spectrum. Jacki argues that Americans underestimate their own influence, especially on immediate family, friends, and co-workers.
