True Mysteries of the Pacific Northwest
Political Myth Buster
"Welcome to kiss myths and mysteries. I'm your host kid chrome today. i'm gonna bust a few political myths. Some of these myths have been around for a hundred years and some more recent. I the current ask of this writing usage of the term whistle blower. This does not refer to an individual it is in reference to an act the protection individual. That hasn't his or her possession information that may implicate another individual usually not restricted to the president of the united states. In some kind of illegal act. It is the whistle blower protection act of nineteen eighty nine a federal agency violates whistle blower protection act if agency authorities take or threaten to take retaliatory personal action against any employees because of disclosure of information by that employee or applicant long story short or in a nutshell. The whistle blower is not an individual. It is a whistle blower act of one thousand nine hundred eighty nine that protects individual with some kind of planned destined information. Now let's move on our great great political myth. That's been around a long time as a jon. Hansen was the first president. Not george washington. The answer is found by looking back what was happening with the continental congress in and around eight seventeen eighties on november fifth. Seventeen eighty one. Congress elected hanson as president. That would be president of congress. Under the articles of confederation. The united states had no executive branch. The president of congress was mostly ceremonial in position. But the office did require hanson to serve as a neutral discussion moderator handle official correspondence and signed documents. Hanson found. The work tedious considered resigning after just one week citing his poor health and family responsibilities colleagues urged him to remain because congress at that time lacked a quorum to choose a successor out of a sense of duty. Hanson remained in office the maryland assembly re elected him as a delegate on november twenty eight seventeen eighty one and so has continued to serve as president of congress until november. Four seventeen eighty two. He died one year later. Here's another great political myth. The myth is that impeachment remove a president from office. Fact is that impeachment has never removed a precedent. Impeachment is generally speaking a gathering of evidence wants presented this evidences debated one party like a defender ends up questioning the factual aspects of the evidence. And the other party must like a prosecutor attempts to demonstrate the reality of the evidence when a conclusion is reached and articles of impeachment involved determined and only after a long process. Can the president be made to stand trial. Impeachment is the process necessary to send a president to trial in this final myth. I use the current president to make a point of myth is that normal of political behavior are durable and resilient. The political process is shaped by both formal rules like caucus math and electoral college and informal norms candidates participation in debates. But it's easy to forget that these informal norms only matter as long as we all believe in them. This election has been for many who closely follow. Paul takes lesson in. Just how powerful. These unwritten rules of behavior of bennett shaping previous campaigns and just how easily they can be shattered again and again the current president has shown a willingness to violate the accepted norms of campaigning. That candidates followed for decades to name. A few candidates do not explicitly insult each other during debates. If violence breaks out at candidates rallied to candidate will not condone that violence. Candidates do not directly criticize former presidents for their own political parties. And so on by violating those norms often. With very little consequence current president has demonstrated how fragile those norms really are and all presidents. How fractured certain norms and changed the way we look at the presidency and debates now is broken down several political miss in the simplest way and hope that through critical thinking and deductive reasoning. You can spot and resolve political myths on your own. Here are two tips for spotty myths. I question all political view. Sit agree with yours second. Don't believe everything you think
Short Wave
Food Waste + Poop = Electricity
"Everybody Emily Kwong here. Filling in for Mattie WHO's out training for thumb were competition today our story comes from NPR correspondent. Alison opry the. Hey there emily. Hey Alison so what you got for us. Well why don't we start with a pop quiz. What do you say? I thrive in. Quick pressure. Go on do you know how much of the food supply in the. US never makes it to our mouths. Ten percent thirty two Orley percents. Thirty to forty percents is the estimate in fact folks at the. USDA the US Department of Agriculture estimate that you could fill the Willis Tower in Chicago goes big skyscraper every year forty four times the amount of food that goes to waste that is staggering. Food waste is this huge problem and on top hopping being a massive waste when food ends up in a landfill. It rots and a lot of methane is released and methane is a greenhouse gas which is a huge contributor attributed. Climate jets right. It traps heat in the atmosphere and methane is over twenty times more potent than carbon dioxide in terms of its warming the impact in fact a recent report from the United Nations found that up to ten percent of all human made greenhouse gas emissions are actually linked to food waste. I humans we're just we're just the worst you know but we're also kind of good at coming up with solutions for Demar species. Okay sure well to solve this problem. Some farmers farmers and Massachusetts are taking all of that methane making food waste and turning it into energy actually making electricity to power nearly fifteen hundred here at homes. Wow that's pretty amazing. And to make that energy these farmers or combining that food waste with something else that can be a big source of methane especially on big big farms. I'll give you a hint. It stinks Oh cow poop. That's right and it's stored in these big pits and cow. POOP can release a a lot of methane as well. So you're saying that farmers have found a way to take to methane sources food waste and manure and turn it into energy. That's right to methane source is is one stone so today on the show we had to Massachusetts to get a closer look at how some dairy farmers are turning tons of cow. POOP and truckloads food waste into Green Energy Alison. I suspect this is going to get messy but I was thinking more like two parallel line from our colleague. Dan Charles. We're GONNA get a whiff of the future. Okay Allison before we get into how these farmers are doing this a host talk about. Why is it just about methane and the environment? Well I mean. I'm sure a lot of farmers do care about the environment but really times are tough for dairy farmers is out there. I mean many farmers are looking for ways to diversify their incomes. They've gotten very efficient at doing what they do. Producing milk perhaps to efficient. And that makes it tough have to be in business so my name is Peter Melnick and I'm a fourth generation dairy farmer in Deerfield Massachusetts. I visited Peter's farm late last year. He's one of a handful of farmers in Massachusetts converting wasted food and manure into electricity. He has essentially turned part of his family farm. Fire into this mini power plant. Well and he says they're saving about one hundred thousand dollars a year by producing energy a hundred thousand dollars a year. That's huge savings. Yeah Okay so how. How does this waste to energy process actually work so a key piece of equipment on the MELNYK farm? Is this ANAEROBIC digesters. adjuster fun name. What is an ANAEROBIC digesters? So it was basically a big sealed tank and when the food waste in the manure are put into the tank and heated. All all of this biomass is broken down. By the little organisms the bacteria and a methane bio gas is produced from this big mixture. That's right and and the digest that he has on his arm has a tank that can hold about a million gallon of what is basically a big organic waste Brownie. Yes and then as methane is released it rises to the top of a bubble shaped dome recapture the gas in that bubble and then we suck it into a generator. It's about the size of your car. And that engine run on methane instead of diesel or gasoline and that in turn is turning big generator which is then creating one megawatt. The water is one mega law a lot of electricity. Well to put this in context. This operation power is not only his farm in his home but a lot more. We only use about ten percent of what we make in the rescue. It's fed onto the grid and it's almost enough to do fifteen hundred homes. That is a huge output. Oh put energy fifteen hundred homes and you mentioned that Peter is mixing food waste in with the manure. Why is he adding food? Waste too well the more you add to the digested the more volume you have. The more electricity can make so that manure may not produce enough to make the economics of the digestive system work out you need scale right. So Peters not not only using this manure he's also processing millions of pounds of food waste from across the Boston area food that is spoiled or surplus also a lot of waste products from food production facilities around the state traditionally all this would end up in a landfill but instead it is to his farm we presently take in about a hundred hundred ton which is about three tractor trailer loads every day. WHOA that is a huge amount of food waste? I watched it. It's amazing I mean these trucks and and it's just piped in to this big hit where then ends up in the digest. Her gets waste from the local creamery. Waste from a local brewery rury local juice plant and then another big source for him is waste from whole foods. The grocery chain seventeen of their stores in Massachusetts participate dissipate There's a woman at whole foods Karen Franchet. She showed us how it all works. We do have items that we can't sal either because they're spoiled vitamins. That are bruised that we might not be able to sell so what she showed us when we visited. Is this big industrial Masher. This was at the whole foods roots in Shrewsbury Massachusetts. It basically gobbles up everything that would be wasted and you can imagine. There's everything from bones. We put fish in there. Um Vegetables You can have dry items like rice or grains so it really becomes kind of a liquefied food ways liquefied show. Yeah Okay and what happens next. Wow so the slurry is loaded into the tank of a truck. It heads to Peter's farm and then it goes right into the digest or anything anything that ends up going to landfill or incineration costs us more money. That is the most expensive way to get rid of waste on our source so this is cheaper for whole foods. That's right it is and also I should point out in Massachusetts. Grocery stores and food producers aren't allowed to send this organic waste to landfills anymore. The estate passed a law back in two thousand fourteen that restricts this it applies to all businesses the generate over a ton of organic. Waste a week. Wow so there's incentive for supermarkets like foods to participate in something like that exactly. Okay let's go back to our farm for a minute. Can any farmer get in on this. Like how did Peter get his digest her. Well here's how it works. The digesters are built and run by a company called Vanguard Renewables Vanguard pays farmers a fee for the use of their land and and also gives them free electricity to power their farms and houses. Right now there are five digesters spread out across the state the CEO. Oh of Vanguard Renewables Jon Hansen says he hopes that this whole operation expands. There's more than enough food waste in Massachusetts to feed all of our I five digesters plus many more allison. Do you get the sense that this is something that can be realistically expanded. You know I think it really depends on the right mix of policies as an incentives. That's what Massachusetts put in place. They passed the commercial food material disposal band. They had a series of grants. I mean this is a new approach so I think we'd have have to look to see. Would we have some kind of federal policy or other state policies to promote this handsome and told me he's really inspired by what's happened in Europe where he says there's more than seventeen eight thousand digesters so we saw what was happening in Europe where anaerobic digestion is extremely widespread across the United States. We don't have that incentive incentive program. We don't have the federal energy policy or any federal benefits. Fran rubel digestion. We are at the cusp. We're at the early days. We've finally got the economics onyx to work. And when I spoke to Peter Melnick about this the farmer he says he really agrees as the price of milk has really been flat. The digesters for is just been A home run for us in that sense. It's made us more sustainable environmentally but also economically as well Alison thank you so much for taking us to Massachusetts where this kind of amazing chain of suppliers and energy makers exists now. I know where to send all my extra cow manure and food waste. Oh my pleasure. It was really a great story to report.
