6.11.19:Oil, Gas And Coal Production In Colorado-The Powergrid And EMPs

Welcome to the Americhicks podcast. Kim Monson is your host - Agree or disagree, let's have a conversation! Aurora has come to an agreement with ConocoPhillips that could result in up to more than 300 oil and gas wells. Oil and gas is important to the Colorado economy as a whole and the local economy and job market for individual cities like Aurora. Coal fired power production in Craig and Moffat Counties has been under assualt for some time now. It appears that reasearches from Colorado State University may well advocate for the continued power production by coal in Craig county and Moffat county. The 9th US Circuit Court will soon hear arguments brought by a group of 21 children who are climate change advocates. The claim is that the United States government is adavancing climate change and violating their Constitutional rights and endagering the enviroment. EMPs. Electromagnetic pulses can occur either naturally from the sun or nefariously from an enemy. They can knock out power on our electric grid. What are the dangers and what can we do about it? Aerospace electrical engineer and Colorado Director of the National EMP Task Force, Dwight Eckert (emptaskforce.us/index.php/1-eckert), joins Kim to explain concerns and solutions. ________________________________________________ Copyright 2019: The Americhicks W/Kim Monson Visit us at www.americhicks.com To have someone contact you about advertising on the radio program, the podcast, or the Americhicks website visit:www.americhicks.com/contact and fill out the form.
