A Summary of World Ocean Radio
"What are we doing here? What are we doing to ourselves? To the ocean and earth? Why are we standing by and letting this travesty continue? ...There is nothing, absolutely nothing, to be gained from this short-term avoidance and denial of the terminal reality of reliance on fossil fuels. There is nothing, absolutely nothing, to be gained, so why do we continue to pay this price?"

World Ocean Radio in September
241: What Price Extra Oil?
About this episode: The past few years have marked a shift away from talk of "peak oil" and subsidies in support of renewable technologies, returning us to aggressive fossil fuel extraction. In this episode of World Ocean Radio we'll assert that there is nothing to be gained from our short-term avoidance and our reliance on fossil fuels.
240: Hydropower
About this episode: In the past decade, dams have been targeted as outdated, inefficient energy providers with serious impacts for the immediate and downstream environments. Of the 79,000 dams in the national inventory, some 925 have been removed in the last 100 years. In this episode of World Ocean Radio we'll share six strategies to improve dam operations and reduce impacts, as well as new technologies in hydropower development.
239: Waves' Collision
About this episode: In this episode of World Ocean Radio we'll suggest a number of strategies to engage us to take action for the world ocean, especially at a time when many feel despair, helplessness and a feeling that there is no individual way to make a difference.
238: Weather Enterprise
About this episode: Today we live with the weather as never before. Access to weather information is all around us. The news is continuously driven not just by more sophisticated forecasts but by the consequences of weather far beyond the local to include the entire world. In this episode of World Ocean Radio we'll discuss the understanding of weather and how the awareness of its impact on our lives has exploded exponentially.
