The great Joe Romm of the even greater Climate Progress returns to discuss Obama’s schizophrenic “All of the Above” climate policies offered in this week’s State of the Union address, and as demonstrated in the year since Romm last joined us on the KPFK/Pacifica Radio BradCast just after the 2013 Inaugural address.
As a former acting Assistant Secretary of Energy during the Clinton Administration and founder of one of the most important climate blogs going, Romm offers helpful insight on the dangers of Obama’s Jekyll/Hyde energy strategy, on the likelihood of the Keystone XL pipeline receiving final White House approval, on whether Obama truly “gets it”, and on the tantalizingly cool new Years of Living Dangerously series begin in April on Showtime, on which he serves as Chief Science Editor.
In the second half of the show I talk GOP State of the Union Derangement Syndrome and why the Republican “extreme” is now the mainstream and how it all helps to remind us once again that, yes, elections really do matter.
PLUS, as usual, Desi Doyen joins us for the latest Green News Report, including a hat-tip to the dearly departed Pete Seeger…

disappointed this week
state of the union address is not news
wasted whole hour on it
like talking about super bowl ads
Touting a program that wants to save the planet by saying it includes Thomas Friedman is not good salesmanship. Thmoas (not Brad) may have some progressive thoughts about preventing global chaos from environmental causes but is so pro-Israel that he would seem to prefer global anhiliation than a Palestinian state. Sounds like a good program if not for Thomas, though.
