July 27th Greenmonk Energy and Sustainability show

I had a lot of content to get through on the Energy and Sustainability show today (but it was all great stuff!) so I had to go at quite a clip. Above is the video from this week’s show and see the chatstream below:

03:26 Tom Raftery: Hey all, kicking off the show in a couple of minutes
03:30 @jimjar: Hi Tom. Tuning in for the first time.
03:31 Tom Raftery: Quick audio/video check – anyone see/hear me/
03:31 kcorrick: Can hear you and see you.
03:31 @jimjar: No
03:33 @jimjar: You’ve still not come back

03:42 Patrick@CorkEnvForum: We have tickets for the BGG – very disappointed about the late announcement. Seems designed to destroy the festival for the future also.

Dirty Coal

I came across this ad via Joseph Romm’s excellent post – as Joe said:

[the] ad violates a central rule of messaging, rhetoric, and psychology: Don’t keep repeating a strong word the other side is trying to push. That is not just a basic tenet of the 25-century old art of persuasion, but a well-demonstrated principle of modern psychology

Dirty coal is the only kind of coal there is, anything else is just unicorns.
