dreamgreen Iowans making a greener tomorrow... today.

Airing Monday, August 1st on solar-powered KRUU-FM at 7am, Stuart and I travel to Ames to check out a solar manufacturing company named PowerFilm, Inc., for a chat with co-founder and CEO Frank Jeffrey and president and COO Tim Neugent. This innovative company has been going since 1988, employs 100 people, recently hiring 10 new employees. They work closely with partner businesses, provide thin solar film for military applications like solar tents--even solar hats for night time reading!! Their latest venture is developing a flexible computer screen with Hewlett-Packard. We also take a walking tour of their facilities and learn about the intricate, complex manufacturing system involved in producing thin solar film.

We also meet with Bob Haug, director of the Iowa Association of Municipal Utilities, at their LEED-certified headquarters near Ankeny. IAMU represents more than 550 municipal electric, gas, water and telecommunication utilities statewide, and maintains a marketing relationship with more than 185 associate member businesses. Organized in 1947, the Iowa Association of Municipal Utilities today is the largest organization of its kind in the country.

Dubuque is Iowa's oldest city. But it is one of the state's brightest examples of what's possible when city planning is inspired by active citizen and business participation, and guided by visionary leadership. The day we were there, the local newspaper headlines read: "City on its way to reducing greenhouse gases by 50%." Later that day, we learned that Dubuque was receiving the Governor's 2011 Environmental Excellence Award. Learn what Dubuque is doing right with its balanced and inclusive approach from Mayor Roy Buol and sustainability coordinator Cori Burbach.

Wind consultant and Iowa Power Fund board member Tom Wind is featured on KRUU-FM’s ‘Dream Green’ radio series Thursday, June 30th at 7pm (rebroadcast Monday, July 4 at 7am).

Wind was chosen for the Dream Green series, explains Tanner, to “get a clear picture of the role of wind energy in Iowa. To know how the numbers work, where the future lies. Listeners are going to really get the answers - plus a lot of jokes about Tom’s name.” Also included is an interview with Nick Hildreth, a Suzlon engineer on the Jefferson project.

Join co-hosts Stuart Tanner & James Moore for a special edition of Tanner & Moore focusing on the unfolding events in Libya with two Libyan exiles.

Asma Yousef, a political activist who grew up in Bhengazi the second largest city in Libya, and Hafed Al Ghwell, a Washington DC-based Libya and Middle East analyst, will discuss the situation there.

According to The Independent, around 20 demonstrators were reported to have been killed in Libya in clashes with security forces on a "day of rage" across the country.

According to an opposition website, Libya Al-Youm, four of the deaths took place in the eastern city of Al Bayda when snipers from the paramilitary internal security force picked off ringleaders at a rally. The website also claimed that six more were shot down in the country's second-largest city, Benghazi, which had seen days of increasingly violent protests. Yesterday's confrontation took place after a large crowd surged towards the State Security building following the funeral of two others killed a day earlier.

Stuart and James talk with Karim, a citizen of Cairo, who bears eye witness testimony to the historic events taking place in real time in Egypt. This upswelling of a leaderless people's movement has swept the country, been fraught with ups and downs, devolved into violence when pro-Mubarak elements attacked peaceful protesters a few days back, and is challenging existing countries across the Middle East.

- Tanner & Moore - 20110127 - Professor Richard Wolff

James Moore — Thu, 27 Jan 2011 14:41:09 -0600

Cohosts Stuart Tanner & James Moore speak with Professor Richard Wolff who presents an alternative look at American economics. The Harvard/Stanford/Yale educated Wolff is Economics Emeritus, at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst where he taught economics from 1973 to 2008. His thesis that deep economic structures--the relationship of wages to profits, of workers to boards of directors, and of debts to income--are the root cause of our economic meltdown means the Great Recession may be far more than simply a "financial" crisis. This is riveting stuff. To go to Prof Wolff's website, click on the pic.
