Two hundred Texans lost their lives unnecessarily during the February Texas power outages, dying from bad energy policy that prevented their homes from being heated. Jacki reviews a trend-setting law that just passed in Texas that stops cities from actually exacerbating the problem; the law literally puts a ban on bans – on natural gas and other forms of energy. It makes it illegal for local municipalities to implement the Paris Climate agreement unilaterally, restricting access to life-saving natural gas and other reliable sources of energy.   Jacki speaks with Sanjay Narayan, a member of the Texas Radiation Advisory Board, about why the nation should build more nuclear energy, the most reliable form of energy during the February power outages in Texas.   Next, the AFL-CIO and Texas Public Policy Foundation are working to destroy a proposed law in Texas that will give $44 billion in government handouts over the next few years to foreign companies and others in exchange for rolling out even more unreliable energy sources – despite February’s deadly energy shortage. While this program is praised for “creating jobs,” Brent Bennett, Ph.D., policy director for Life:Powered, says the state routinely grants waivers for the job creation requirement, especially to wind energy producers, leaving taxpayers footing an enormous bill for which they get nothing in return.   Jacki represents Texas on the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission and heralds the passage of a resolution urging the reigning in of ESG investment criteria. Among other things, ESG advocates often seek to divest from U.S. oil and gas.   Then, Jacki interviews Federico Chavez-Torres, director of operations at Energy Ledger, who says that a new blockchain solution for oil storage could have prevented the Colonial Pipeline hacking and could prevent future hacks.   Media reports of “Eco-Anxiety” show that American kids are terrified and depressed about climate change. Katie Tahuahua, mother and member of the Life:Powered Initiative (TPPF), explains how to calm your child’s fears about climate change and how to create optimism for the future.
