E303. Nature Is Non-Partisan - Benji Backer

Walk-Ins Welcome with Bridget Phetasy

Benji Backer, author of The Conservative Environmentalist, sits down with Bridget to discuss how environmentalism became a partisan issue in America and what he’s doing about it. They talk about the politicization of environmental issues, his road trip around the country in an electric vehicle, water scarcity and its solutions, the problem with data and AI centers, how every energy source has a massive tradeoff, the surprising fact that Texas is number one in solar and wind technologies, and why trying to mandate one type of of energy in an area where it won’t work is not the solution, yet politicians keep trying it. They also cover bipartisan approaches to environmental solutions, realistic and cost-effective measures, nuclear energy, the homesteading and healthy eating trends, how nature belongs to everyone, trying to show people that energetic choices can save you money, the role of government, and why the climate alarmists are worse than the climate deniers.
