Our producer and green news expert Desi Doyen joins us to help separate fact from fiction on the long-awaited decision, and to offer long-overdue kudos to those citizens who organized, activated, advocated and otherwise successfully took on the most powerful interests in the history of civilization to block the project in the name of the environment.<\/p>\n<p><i>On Kentucky<\/i>: Several new developments following the <a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\/?p=11430\">completely unverified results<\/a> of Tuesday&#8217;s Gubernatorial election in Kentucky, where pre-election polls <a href=\"http:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/epolls\/2015\/governor\/ky\/kentucky_governor_bevin_vs_conway_vs_curtis-5692.html#polls\">all predicted<\/a> the opposite of the &#8216;landslide&#8217; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wkyt.com\/home\/headlines\/Election-Tuesday-Kentucky-campaign-for-governor-at-a-close-now-voters-decide-339742142.html\">reported<\/a> by the state&#8217;s computer tabulators. Among those developments: A KY newspaper fires their well-respected pollster rather than bothering to find out if the polls were right and the <i>results<\/i> were wrong; Another reminder of why hand-marked paper ballots like those in KY are swell, but <i>only<\/i> if you bother to actually <i>count them<\/i>; We weather a few attacks from <i>progressives<\/i> who charge us with forwarding conspiracy theories and don&#8217;t think we should bother to count ballots; And, new information out of Pima County (Tucson), AZ to remind us why citizen vigilance and oversight is needed to assure the survival of democracy.<\/p>\n<p><i>Also today<\/i>: The Koch Brothers tell MSNBC they are champions of the environment and MSNBC doesn&#8217;t bother to correct them &#8212; so, we do.
