The Jacki Daily Show

Dr. Cal Beisner of the Cornwall Alliance gives an overview of his book, Climate and Energy: The Case for Realism, a collection of essays by climate scientists, economists, and other professionals.  Environmental goals can absolutely be met in a way that does not threaten the survival of billions of human beings (ending fossil fuels, nuclear, etc.). Bonus: This book gives proper credit to the elephant in the room or the climate change debate chamber: the sun, with its cycles, weather, storms, and earthward springing flares. Where does the sun figure into the dozens of widely varying climate change models cited by leading scientists?

Jacki interviews Craig Rucker of CFACT about their ongoing suit against the feds for violating the Endangered Species Act. The suit to prevent construction of a Virginia offshore wind farm that would be the biggest in the world, the size of Rhode Island and Connecticut – combined - claiming that the 176 turbines will have a devastating impact on the North Atlantic Right Whale, an endangered species with only about 70 female individuals remaining.  This project is one of 32 east coast areas leased to wind farms, creating a gauntlet of dangers that this and other whale species have to migrate through twice yearly. The seismic surveys, underwater explosions used to place the turbines, and ongoing noise from the turbines are all believed to interfere with the whales’ communication and navigation signals, causing the “unusual mortality event” the feds have declared for the whale beachings.  This suit is filed by the Heartland Institute, the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT), and the National Legal and Policy Center. Jacki predicts a court win given that the federal courts have uniformly held that the approach taken by the regulators in this case is illegal.

The solar eclipse path-of-totality spans from Eagle Pass, TX to Maine. Jacki shares how to prepare and what to expect based on The Jacki Daily Show four-state tour of the last major U.S. eclipse in 2017: purple skies, the insects and birds go quiet, and more.  Jacki urges listeners to BE VERY CAREFUL about where you buy your eclipse goggles. Only trust your eyesight to goggles manufactured by companies and from countries whose standards you trust.  Texas projects the eclipse will block between 83-99% of the sun’s rays that power the state’s solar energy, a real problem now that Texas has 20 times as much dependency on solar than the state did during the 2017 eclipse.  Jammed cellular signals are possible, and government actors are calling out National Guard and Coast Guard...for some reason.  Path-of-totality cities could see their populations triple; As all Jacki Daily Show listeners know already, you should always keep topped-off fuels tanks.

A I is a fossil fuel-guzzling technology. The International Energy Agency estimates that AI and cryptocurrency could cause data centers to double their energy (yes, fossil fuel) use in a just two years (D. Blackmon reports). - - - - - What a Billy Joel concert can teach you about fossil fuels, steel making, and other keys to winning a world war, …lessons still applicable for WW3. - - - - - What did we learn from RFK Jr.’s VP candidate reveal? Plenty. That he is serious about his war on U.S. energy, for one. Does he still stand by his 2014 article titled, “Jailing Climate Deniers”? - - - - - Biden urges Ukraine to stop attacking oil tankers and refineries. C’mon Man! Whose side is he on? Sure, a cessation would keep gas prices down until after the election, but don’t we have loftier goals? - - - - - Jacki’s upcoming appearances.

David Blackmon, Host of The Energy Question podcast, joins Jacki to give our conservation update. Federal filings prove that Big Wind is killing whales washing up on the Northeast coast, with a death count of at least 60 so far. The Feds admit that they do not have data on the harm to whales, nor do they appear to be hustling to learn the extent of it. What is clear is that wind farm surveys, underwater explosions (to set the towers), and sound waves from swirling wind blades can literally damage tissue, interfering with the whales’ ability to communicate with other whales to signal navigation or signs of danger, whether predators or boats. Likewise, Big Wind is now threatening the big cats of northeastern Brazil, decimating the region’s count of endangered pumas and jaguars. Finally, we discuss why RFK Jr. is not “as advertised.”

Jacki interviews Abraham Enriquez of Bienvenido, a 29-year-old dynamo who has set out to be the pro-freedom voice for America’s fastest growing demographic: Hispanic Americans, whose average age is…29. Of those, 67% are of Mexican descent. The U.S. is quickly becoming a Hispanic nation, yet there exists very little in the way of pro-freedom Spanish news and messaging available to this increasingly influential population. Enriquez, son of a Mexican immigrant, aims to take leadership as the trusted voice to his community on what it means to be an American. Jacki and Abraham discuss the importance of the Hispanic community to the oil & gas workforce and how this combo makes Texas one of the richest states.

Putin supports Biden for President - just like Jacki said he would. (WSJ reporting). Jacki explains why it makes perfect sense for a petrostate dictator to support a candidate that vows to kill American fossil fuel producers (Hint: Russia’s #1 competitor and existential threat is U.S. oil & gas). - - - - - Uncle Sam needs YOU to volunteer for early voting and election day as a poll worker or observer, according to the Federal Election Assistance Commission. Do not wait. Sign up now. Jacki explains how. - - - - - Apparently, it is up to you to maintain accurate voter rolls because many local officials are not doing their jobs. If you have ever lived in a different state, you must remove yourself from the past state’s voter rolls to ensure that no one can vote in your name. Jacki explains how to quickly check this online, how to remove yourself from your old state’s rolls, and how to make sure your current registration is active. - - - - - Al Gore calls free speech social media “digital AR-15s!” , “enemies of democracy!” that “ought to be banned!” and says the quiet part out loud with demands for “’reforms’ to democracy and capitalism” to solve “artificial insanity.” Jacki and Jeff Fisher of “Chewing the Fat” discuss. - - - - - Another of Jacki’s predictions is proven true: Oil remains the most traded commodity on earth - by miles. And its consumption is going up every year. Everything Al Gore, John Kerry, and the mainstream media told you about being “beyond oil” was false. - - - - - Your taxpayer $$ are now funding scientists to take their best shot at cooling the planet through scary geoengineering experiments: adding chemicals to the ocean, filling the atmosphere with reflective particulate matter, or adding salt to clouds that will then fall as rain. What could possibly go wrong?
