Planet Philadelphia radio show is coming up soon with a fantastic guest. Author and environmental activist, Eileen Flanagan, will talk with Planet Philadelphia host, Kay Wood, this Friday, December 2nd at 4:00 on gtownradio.com.

Eileen Flanagan is the clerk of the board of Earth Quaker Action Team and a member of Chestnut Hill Friends Meeting. Her newest book, Renewable: One Woman’s Search for Simplicity, Faithfulness, and Hope, is about her midlife realization that she was not living in sync with her values and the journey that led her to climate justice activism. A resident of East Falls, her previous book, The Wisdom to Know the Difference, was endorsed by the Dalai Lama.

Also, as promised, you’ll get to hear the newly released song from City Love (Sterling Duns and Caselli Jordan), a west Philadelphia conscious acoustic duo with hip hop, harmonies. They are educators and musicians who write songs to spread the love, make people move, make people laugh, and foster dialogue about the issues of our times. 
 
Tune in to hear Eileen Flanagan talk about her book, her life, and environmental activism and to hear City Love’s great new song on Planet Philadelphia radio show.
 
Planet Philadelphia streams live 4:00 to 5:00 pm on http://www.gtownradio.com/1st and 3rd Fridays of every month. Podcasts of the live shows become available the day after they broadcast.

Great gift for the holidays, a graphic novel by Kay Wood, producer and host of Planet Philadelphia!

11/27/2015

 
Picture
The Big Belch, the graphic novel, uses humor to get across just how criminally crazy our behavior is toward the natural environment. The Big Belch, 116 pages of text and drawings, tells a tale of human foibles, greed, and oil. It's book  for people who are ready for some art and zany humor about our fossil fuel obsession. People who would turn off at the sniff of a serious discussion on any environmental issue will also get a kick out of this wild romp. It could make a great gift for the holidays!

Here’s some news from the clean energy revolution front:

September blew away the margin for Earth's warmest month on record.

Study finds the warmer it gets, the more world economy hurts.

Americans have never been so sure about climate change—even Republicans.
By Tom Randall Bloomberg Business Oct 23 - Maybe it's the pope. Or the freakish year in extreme climate records. It might even be explained by the U.N. climate talks and the bright lights of the presidential election cycle. Whatever the cause, U.S. views on climate change are shifting—fast...

The Guardian --The Scottish government has granted consent for the world’s largest floating offshore windfarm to be developed off the coast of Peterhead.    Oil and gas giant Statoil will build a 30MW pilot park consisting of five floating 6MW turbines, which could power nearly 20,000 homes. The project will be the UK’s first ever floating windfarm development, with construction set to start next year.    Statoil’s executive vice president for new energy solutions, Irene Rummelhoff, said: “Floating wind represents a new, significant and increasingly competitive renewable energy source…http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/nov/02/worlds-largest-floating-windfarm-gets-green-light-in-scotland
 
Fortune.com - Why Japan wants to transform into a 'hydrogen society' -David Z. Morris  Oct 21, 2015
Japan is making a big bet on an alternative fuel for the future—but will it pay off?
http://fortune.com/2015/10/21/japan-hydrogen-fuel/
 
According to the Council On Foreign Relations – High Hopes for Hydrogen; Fuel Cells and the Future of Energy by Dr. Matthew Mench  - Producing hydrogen now costs less and emits less carbon than ever before. In part, that is the result of the United States’ newfound abundance of natural gas [6], the source of most of the hydrogen produced. But it is also the result of technological improvements in the process of “reforming” natural gas into hydrogen. It now costs around as much to produce a gallon of gasoline as it does to produce the energy-equivalent amount of hydrogen with natural gas. Meanwhile, another method of producing hydrogen—electrolysis, which uses electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen—has seen major cost reductions as well. What makes electrolysis particularly attractive is that when powered by renewable sources such as wind and solar power, it directly emits zero carbon...
