Follow the Pipelines:
The Deadly Politics of the Great Game for Oil, Part 2  

For Beyond 50's "History" talks, listen to an interview with attorney and former reporter Charlotte Dennett. She dug into her father's postwar counterintelligence work, which pitted him against America's wartime allies - the British, French, and Russians - in a covert battle for geopolitical and economic influence in the Middle East. She'll reveal how the feverish competition among super power intelligence networks, military, and Big Oil interests have fueled indiscriminate attacks, misguided foreign policy, and targeted killing that continue to this day.

Red Alert! Shut Down
The Nuclear Reactors at Diablo Canyon

For Beyond 50's "Sustainable Practices" talks, listen to an interview with Harvey "Sluggo" Wasserman. He is a legendary Green Power advocate. He's alerting everyone about the need to shut down the nuclear reactors at Diablo Canyon in California that is run by PG&E. It poses an imminent danger. Wasserman warned, "The ancient atomic reactors at Diablo Canyon are unsafe to operate and must be shut as soon as possible.

All of California is at escalating risk from an apocalyptic disaster from these continuous radioactive fires, a rotting interior, radioactive wastes, an aging workforce and a criminal twice-bankrupt operator all escalate Diablo's risks.

The reactors' cooling systems are obsolete. They draw huge amounts of water from the ocean, heat it, then put it back into the ocean, damaging marine life.

Also, the two reactors are nearby several earthquake fault lines. One of them is only 22,000 feet from the facility. A catastrophe can affect 10 - 15 million people.

    - Power Grid Problems - Intense heat could lead to widespread blackouts in North America this summer, according to NERC (North American Electric Reliability Corporation). Power disruptions would be notably higher because of older plants shutting down or other facilities struggling to find enough fuel.

    Power supplies in a large part of the United States and Canada, from the Great Lakes to the Midwest, will be overstretched due to growing demands.

    California has already warned its citizens of the risk of blackouts for the next three summers as it transitions to green energy, and it’s weighing on keeping a nuclear power plant (at Canyon Diablo) open to offset the potential loss of hydropower.
