Ekstrom Believes Political Leadership Needs A Serious Energy Audit
/

Jack Ekstrom, former principal for PolicyWorks America, as well as a veteran executive in the oil and gas industry, joined Steve Bakken and Jason Spiess on KLXX-AM SuperTalk 1270‘s for a live interview on the radio and podcast recording for The Crude Life.

The three discussed the recent election and how policy is dictating our lives in more ways than people can imagine.

Cybersecurity and energy independence was discussed in detail as one area of industry most people do not understand.  The three talk about the disconnect with the current leadership on both sides of the isle.  How the 10% extremes are ruling the 80% public with reactive politics and policies.

Nuclear energy was cited as an example of an energy that receives little media attention.  The three discuss the environmental impacts on nuclear as well as the major innovations.

Weekly Sponsor:  Stephen Heins, The Practical Environmentalist

Historically, Heins has been a writer on subjects ranging from broadband and the US electricity grid, to environmental, energy and regulatory topics.

Heins is also a vocal advocate of the Internet of Everything, free trade, and global issues affecting the third of our planet that still lives in abject poverty.

Heins is troubled by the Carbon Tax, Cap & Trade, Carbon Offsets and Carbon Credits, because he questions their efficacy in solving the climate problem, are too gamable by rent seekers, and are fraught with unreliable accounting.

Heins worries that climate and other environmental reporting in the US and Europe has become too politicized, ignores the essential role carbon-based energy continues to play in the lives of billions, demonizes the promise and practicality of Nuclear Energy and cheerleads for renewable energy sources that cannot solve the real world problems of scarcity and poverty.
