Geothermal energy, despite lower carbon emissions than coal, is not benign. Projects like Nevada's proposed Baltazor site highlight significant environmental and social costs. Geothermal development leads to habitat destruction (e.g., in Kenya and for Nevada's Dixie Valley toad) and violent evictions of indigenous communities.

Drilling releases toxic elements like mercury, arsenic, and boron into groundwater. Facilities also cause air pollution, including sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, contributing to acid rain and health issues, as seen in Iceland. Moreover, "enhanced geothermal systems" (EGS) utilize fracking technology, injecting high-pressure slurries that can poison groundwater and induce earthquakes, mirroring problems in the oil and gas industry.

Bret Baier's *To Rescue the Republic* explores Ulysses S. Grant's critical role from the Civil War through Reconstruction and the 1876 electoral crisis. Grant led the Union Army to victory, advanced Reconstruction as President, and forged a compromise that saved the nation, albeit at a cost to civil rights.

This program, featuring Bret Baier and moderated by Melissa Caen, was part of The Commonwealth Club's Good Lit series. Founded in 1903, the Club is the nation's oldest and largest public affairs forum, hosting diverse speakers and over 400 annual events.

Beavers offer ancient, nature-based solutions to climate disruption, addressing challenges like droughts, floods, soil erosion, and biodiversity loss. This episode of Bioneers' "Nature's Genius" podcast explores how these "rodent relatives" can heal nature by working with it.

Kate Lundquist and Brock Dolman of the Occidental Arts and Ecology Center share their journey as "Beaver Believers." They are part of a passionate global movement to restore beavers, demonstrating how these animals help balance human civilization with living systems.

Nature's Genius, a Bioneers podcast, explores how nature's wisdom offers solutions for human civilization and living systems. It posits an "Age of Nature," urging a radical shift in our relationship with the natural world for healing ourselves and the planet.

The series blends Indigenous wisdom and modern science, revealing interconnectedness and time-tested principles from 3.8 billion years of evolution that allow living systems to flourish.

It features scientists, ecologists, Indigenous practitioners, and authors like Brett KenCairn (naturebasedclimate.solutions) and Toby Kiers (spun.earth). They explore nature's inherent intelligence to model sustainable human organization.

This episode features Jacques Kenjio and Mary Kathryn Nagle, discussing sovereignty, land rights, and climate change. Listen here:
