In this episode I was joined by bestselling author and social commentator Michael Shellenberger. We spoke about the social issues in California, the real reasons for the energy crisis in Europe, and the problems with so-called sustainable energy. We also got into the homeless issue, the drug problem and lifestyle solutions.
Michael is the author of multiple books including, “Apocalypse Never” and bestseller, “San Fran-sicko”. He ran for Governor of California in 2022 and is also the co-founder of the Breakthrough Institute and the California Peace Coalition.

Too much practicality and thoughtfulness in this podcast.
Nuclear energy
Tethered ring orbital infrastructure.
Regenerative ag and ccg's
Dumb boomers need to retire
Smart people need to rise up
We need a conservative global youth movement.
Nuclear paired with red hydrogen like Japan is doing seems like the future to me. We can store waste on mars? Or just GMO a bacteria, well contained, to consume it in short order? Apparently shooting it at the sun is paradoxically hard…
The audio tags for the video inserts are incredibly annoying. So much so I'm not sure I can make it thru to the end.
Greetings Mikhaila Europe has no Gas because of the sanctions they put on Russia plus the UK/USA blowing up Nord Stream pipelines . Russia had to protect the ethnic Russians in The Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) and the Luhansk People's Republic (LPR) from the Nazi Fascists scum who over-through the democratically elected Government of Ukraine in a CIA backed coup d'état, Europe is in deep trouble Michael Shellenberger is right about that but wrong about everything he has said so far 12 minutes in . God help Europe if they set foot in/on the "The Motherland" Things can always get worse I listen to your dad so you know were I am coming from . . Peace .
ps Why are the Brits in Northern Ireland .
Mikhaila is just smokin' hot in her RabbitAir ad… Whew!! 🔥🔥🔥 Nothing like an intelligent, strong, focused woman.
No upside to wokeism
Hi Mikhaila, I just want to take a moment and appreciate how you are just glowing today, you’re always a very beautiful & attractive woman, but as soon as the video started you were just being extra-everything ❤❤ (I don’t want my comment to misinterpreted as I’m “hitting” on you, because I’m not, but I sincerely hope it’s ok for a woman complementing another woman)
With kindness and respect, GraceGoogh
Trudeau killed 17 LNG port projects.
Doesn’t the decision to remove gas vehicles in CA seem consistent with the WEF’s agenda. You don’t need a gas vehicle or any vehicle for that matter because you will own nothing. They have advised consistently that you will “like it.” It’s all good.
Michaela please this intro is just to tabloid It’s Clickbait I’m not watching it goodbye
Excellent interview
Looking forward to more♥️
Are we awake yet🕊
With a hearty great from Europe: mr Shellenberger is not very informed on what's actually happening here…
America is providing liquid gas, the Atlantic is swarming with tankers as we speak, Germany is building that/those terminal(s) while other countries have them allready, the Germans chose recently to keep their nuclear plants working longer than planned. Ms Meloni is actually a populist right wing politician comming from the facist party that provided Europe with Mussolini before and in the second world war, she won on almost Trumpian arguments made to stop the inflow of migrants and hers being one of two or three smaller political parties not having had any gouverning-power in the last decades, making her a last resort option for a people fed up with the corruption ruling the bigger political parties. However cinical that she will have to cooperate with one or more of the sitting corrupt political elite because she didn't get a majority big enough to 'rule' on her own.
Yes depending on Russia for gas was not self- sustaining though Europe choose, through imposing sanctions on most everything Russian, not to buy their gas any longer.
The firtillizer issue has to do with cutting nitrogen depositions.
Regarding democracy I guess it takes one to know one with America in a deep decision-making crises; Trump showing the world how undemocratic (this guy…. he is the embodyment of authoritarian rule and elitism, sewing his way from candidacy to candidacy) and utterly divided America's 'great' democracy actually is.
Just to name a few.
I'll skip to the next episode, good luck on your podcast Mikhaila!
That whole dropping the issue of an important issue with no explanation theme is the new brainwashing….
This is super crazy if you haven’t watched it yet. Dystopian future right around the corner and possibly entrenched as early as 2035: https://youtu.be/auhNY1EZ6UI
Love your channel! I would never know any of this stuff without you!
I hate people that haven’t studied renewables or science talking shit! He’s not an expert and it’s not his profession.
How he’s saying his a doctor wtf?
Get Sam Cooper too pls
The weird crunching sound at every slide change/info pop up that is new is so so irritating it makes it hard to watch without wanting to switch it off/switch the sound off every time. It’s like someone is in the background throwing crumpled paper into an aluminium trash can that has a mic in it. Please switch back to how it used to be!
Excellent interview! Surely this is the information we hear when a subject is fact based, not politicised. Knowledgeable people telling us the reality that is so different from government and big business propaganda or the nonsense splurged by radical interest groups. Bjorn Llomberg another of this ilk. Somehow I can't see Greta Thunberg, Justin Trudeau or Gavin Newsome talking anywhere hear as much sense.
Maybe the leaders want people to use flubalcranks to make energy.
In a state like California it will look like a Lexx episode.
I honestly wonder what would happen if someone like him was elected governor. I feel like both sides would simply work to devour him. What are they going to do, suddenly realize someone has a synthesis that transcends their weltanschauungs?
So I agree with you 99% of the time, but so what, it's simple logic. So "Culture Wars" AGAIN 😒 !! the typical separation between men and women, family structure, gender, abortion, and religion to the anti-theist, woke to I woke everything that separates us the higher-ups will utilize? All this stuff is just poison while the globalists bring in their New World.
Well when they get it, at least I won't have to deal with the poison that's spewed out of the media.
We will be begging that culture war issues were the least of our problems! You and ya dad will never be canceled like Alex Jones because you at the moment are helping perpetuate their agenda, Alex Jones does not!
