CATASTROPHE IN MAUI; OHIO / MONTANA VICTORIES; THE NYTIMES AWAKENS TO RENEWABLES

The horrifying disaster in Maui is Mother Nature’s way of telling us that with global boiling, there are no more safe places.

JOHN & MARGO STEINER say where to send our ALOHA IN ACTION support for those in this stricken paradise.

TATANKA BRICCA, MYLA RESON, DOROTHY REIK, JEFFREY BARKDULL and JUSTIN LEBLANC give us their mahalo in a time of tragedy.

@15:40 RACHEL COYLE then reveals the inside story of the HUGE people’s victory over Ohio’s fascist Issue One, meant to erase the public right to democratically amend the Buckeye constitution with a simple majority….enshrined in Ohio law since 1912.

@44:45 WENDI LEDERMAN describes Florida’s strongman/torturer Ron DeSantis’s purges of duly elected public officials, making Florida the place where democracy and freedom go to die.

The great eco-activist RUSSELL GREENE invites us to his September 17 mega-march in New York aiming to end fossil/nuke climate destruction.

RON LEONARD dissects California’s escalating war against solar while we celebrate a front-piece piece from the NYTIMES finally citing Solartopian inevitability.

We hear also of major advances in solar panels and moving lithium-based batteries to sodium, a MUCH cheaper route to the Solartopia future.

Wendi reminds us of MAYA ROSSUM’s superb GREEN AMENDMENTS book.

And we thank the great JOEL SEGAL for authoring landmark legislation for 100% green energy.

NO NUKES! everybody….see you in Solartopia….
