Episode 5: Energy Security. Who turned out all the lights?
It’s no secret that finding and keeping resources has been the central driver for most, if not all, wars, and exploits. More specifically, the hunt for power in all shapes and forms is what fuels the political, cultural, and economic worlds we live in. Oil and gas, hydro, wind, solar, nuclear, and more- each has benefits, but also costs. Join us as Michael and Kate discuss energy scarcity, the balance between traditional and green energy, and where everyone stands as we move into an era of greater energy insecurity.
Episode 2: Food Security
Your hosts, Michael and Kate, take on one of the most serious early indicators of trouble to come: food insecurity. In the US, it looks like food deserts and supply chain issues. In other parts of the world, it looks like food aid held hostage by armed militia. Food is used for power and control around the world. Join them as they explore the complex issue, diving deep to understand what to know and what to watch.
