Individual interview:

For those who wish to read more about nuclear power and LNG , issues that were discussed in this Planet Philadelphia show, here are some links.
Link to the memo from Pennsylvania Public Utility Commissioner, Andrew G. Place referenced a number of times in this show: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/5763986-Nuclear-Policy-Paper-PUC-Commissioner-Andrew-G.html

Links to stories about the proposed new liquefied natural gas (LNG) to be built at PGW’s Passyunk plant. PGW is a city owned utility. Natural gas is methane. The LNG is proposed to replace current diesel uses. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas. It has a shorter duration in the atmosphere, but it traps at some estimates 86-89 times more heat than carbon dioxide before it degrades.

It’s been two years of great reporting on our environment, bringing home how we are all affected by our environment here in Philly and in the world. Celebrate this second anniversary by listening to Planet Philadelphia with a very special guest, Dr. John Goodenough.

Dr. John Goodenough, inventor of the lithium-ion battery (used in all our smart phones, many electronic home devices, and some electric cars), will discuss his recent announcement of the potential for the first all solid-state battery. This research is so revolutionary that Newsweek described it as having the potential to “save the planet”. Dr. Goodenough is a physicist with joint appointments in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. He has been given numerous national and international honors including the Enrico Fermi Award (2009), and the National Medal of Science presented by President Obama (2011).

Also on this anniversary show, Michelle Kondo of the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) will tell us about the new collaboration between the Schuylkill Center, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), Philadelphia Parks and Recreation, and the USFS. This collaboration will connect primary care pediatric health and wellness with nature and time spent being active outdoors.
Cyane Gresham, professional gardener, on what to look for in our yards and gardens in September.
Maya Van Rossum, the Delaware River Keeper, comments on the Delaware River Basin Commission possible fracking regulations – is it a bad trade?
