Ecotopia

2 August 2011

Tonight we will be talking with Richard Heinberg of the Post Carbon Institute who has an important new book called The End of Growth: Adapting to Our New Economic Reality. He discusses why the idea of economic “growth” is obsolete. Heinberg is also author of a book called Peak Everything, where he argues that it’s not a question of whether the good old days of carbon dependency are over, but how we are going to cope with the inevitability of the post-carbon economy.

We also want to link tonight’s discussion of the post-growth economy to the goings on in Washington these past 24 hours. The House and Senate have managed to pass a compromise bill that will raise the debt ceiling by $2.1 trillion in exchange for $2.4 billion in proposed cuts as well as the possibility of a constitutional balanced budget amendment. Large cuts to the military are supposed to be a part of the cuts package, and that’s a topic we’ll be exploring in two weeks on this program as we talk with people from the Beyond War movement and the New Priorities Project, which keeps track of how much the military is costing us minute by minute here in the Northstate.

Why are cuts and deficits a topic for Ecotopia? Quite simply (as our guest, Richard Heinberg, will explain), the economic crash is fundamentally linked to resource exploitation and failure of capitalism to include pollution and environmental damage in the cost of doing business. The world has treated Mother Nature as a Santa Claus, and those days are over. Santa’s bag is depleted, and if we continue to steal from Mother Nature’s handbag, we are merely going to exacerbate a decaying human condition.

Listen to the Program

Richard Heinberg is author of a book just published: The End of Growth: Adapting to Our New Economic Reality. He is a Senior Fellow at the Post-Carbon Institute in Santa Rosa, and author of a number of books about peak oil and resource depletion.

Part I: The End of Growth

–You don’t hide the thesis of the book. On page one you say, “Economic growth as we have known it is over and done with.” Yet every day, even on “independent” media like National Public Radio, we hear discussion of positive economic growth and a “recovery.” Why do you so powerfully refute the notion of economic growth in the near and distant future?

–You write about three causes of the end of growth–exhausted resources, the price of pollution, and financial systems. We were especially interested in the ways you link the current banking, currency, and economic systems to environmental issues. Could you outline a few of those connections?

–You went to press with this book before the current “crisis” over raising the debt ceiling. What’s your view of the debt ceiling and the cuts passed by Congress yesterday. Should we be raising the debt ceiling? Do either the Republicans or the Democrats have a grip on the reality of economic growth? (Can our economy grow without piling up debt? p. 53) (What do you think of calls for a balanced budget constitutional amendment?)

–You also argue that many of the governmental solutions attempted or proposed so far–austerity, cutting taxes for the rich, bailouts, stimulus packages, “Lemon socialism”–are just buying time in the face of the end of growth. Please explain.

–We were also very interested in your point that as energy sources grow more scarce and of lower quality, more capital becomes tied up in the energy system itself, exacerbating the financial crisis. Could you give us an example or two? (We’ve discussed both Fracking and the Gulf Oil Spill in recent programs.)

–You also argue (and have been lead author on a detailed report explaining) that alternative energy sources do not have the potential to close the deficit created by peak oil. Why can’t we just go green? solar on every rooftop? a windmill in every backyard?

Part II: Adapting to Our New Economic Reality

–Let’s talk about adapting to the no growth economy. For openers, you are very skeptical of claims that we can succeed through “efficiency, substitution, and innovation.” (156) Why are you so down on all-American ingenuity to solve our problems? (Perhaps discuss Moore’s Law vs. Murphy’s Law.) Won’t capitalistic impulses and imagination lead to a lean, green post-growth post-carbon economy?

–Let’s explore (your choice of) some of the alternatives you find encouraging:

…”Development” as freedom for individuals (Amartya Sen 218)

…Gross National Happiness (Jigme Singye Wangchuck 255)

…Post-Growth Money (local currencies, non-government)

…Mutual Credit Clearing

…Voluntary Simplicity

and the three you stress in Chapter 7:

…Transition Towns (Chico has a modest effort going)

…Common Security Clubs

…Community Economic Labs

–You’ve created a web site where people can learn about and contribute to solutions to end of growth issues. Please tell listeners what they can find at endofgrowth.com.

–Finally, as we close, we’d like to ask a question we often ask guests on this program, “What will it take?” government regulation? free-market mechanisms? voluntary good behavior? being pushed to (or over) the brink? And, what is your level of optimism at this point?

Richard Heinberg is author of The End of Growth: Adapting to Our New Economic Reality, published by New Society. And you can also get in touch with him by facebook.com/richardheinberg and facebook.com/postcarbon. We’ll post those links along with a recording of this program at ecotopiakzfr.net.

Tonight we’ll be talking with Dave Murphy, founder and executive director of Food Democracy Now!, a grassroots movement of American farmers and citizens dedicated to reforming our food and agriculture. I’m Stephen Tchudi
We’ve talked with Dave Murphy in the past, once about the Food Safety Act and another time about the bee collapse. Food Democracy Now! is in the forefront of nonprofits keeping a close eye on the safety and healthfulness of our food.
When we talk with Dave Murphy tonight we want to hear about the efforts to try to break the strangle-hold big ag has on our food system—with Monstanto being the most oppressive and aggressive in the business.

In the past we’ve talked about Monsanto’s Genetically Engineered sugar beets being planted in Willamette Valley in Oregon. We talked both with one of the affected organic farmers—Frank Morton of Wild Garden Seed—and with Earthjustice lawyer—Paul Achitoff–who made the organic farmers’ case in court. While the judge agreed that the organic farmers’ crops were being threatened by GE seed, Monsanto planters were able to get around the ruling and continue the planting.

Listen to the Program

Our Discussion with Dave Murphy

Dave Murphy  is the founder and executive director of Food Democracy Now!, a grassroots movement of more than 250,000 American farmers and citizens dedicated to reforming our food and agriculture. We had Dave on the show last September to talk about the Food Safety Bill and in January to talk about Bee Collapse. Tonight we’ll talk a bit about the campaign of Food Democracy Now! to investigate the abuses of Monsanto and other campaigns the group is focusing on.

1. First of all can you tell us just a little about the history and goals of Food Democracy Now!? (How old is it? How did it began? What sere some of the early successful campaigns, etc.?)

2. Describe the recent campaign to rein in Monsanto. What motivated it? What are your goals?

3. What do you see as the most egregious policies of Monsanto? Are there other players that you see as equally threatening?

4. How did American agriculture come to be dominated by agri-business?

5. Your campaign against Monsanto seems to proceed along several lines–through the justice system, the legislature, and the president and his administration. Can you talk a little bit about your strategies for taking on issues? What have you found successful as a line of attack? (What do you think of USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack? What’s up with President Obama?)

6. What do you anticipate as an outcome of efforts to diminish the power of big ag?

7. Food Democracy Now! has grown significantly. Do you know who your supporters are and why they have joined your cause?

8. Another issue that involves Monsanto is the use of GMOs. Can you tell us what action Food Democracy Now! has taken on this issue? What are the big concerns about GMOS? Where do things stand in our protection against GMOs?

9. Food Democracy Now! has a number of campaigns underway. One that I wanted to ask you about is the proposed USDA fair market contract rules that govern packer and slaughter house operations. Can you explain what this is and why it’s significant? (set of proposed fair market contract rules under Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) that would make it illegal for packers and slaughter houses to unfairly discriminate against poultry, hog and cattle farmers to protect family farmers)

10. What are some other campaigns Food Democracy Now! has in the works? (One that’s important here in California is Methyl Iodide.)

11.We’re curious about your level of optimism/hope. We talk to a lot of people on this program who are involved in daily work of environmental protection, food protection, climate change issues, protection of water and air and land. Often this work seems frustrating. What do you see in the future? What change for the better do you see? How do you stay positive?

12. Finally, can you tell our listeners how they can get involved? What should they be doing? How can they contact Food Democracy Now!? How can they help?

In this program we will talk with journalist Mike Manger, who has been studying the Gulf Oil spill and the history of British Petroleum that lead up to it. His book is Poisoned Legacy: The Human Cost of BP’s Rise to Power.

Listen to the Program

Our Discussion with Mike Magner

The British Petroleum Gulf Oil spill is still very much in our memories as probably the worst environmental disaster of our time. Our guest on the phone tonight is Mike Magner, who has written a book about BP and the Gulf disaster. It’s called Poisoned Legacy: The Human Cost of BP’s Rise to Power and it’s published by St. Martin’s press. Mike is a longtime journalist, and he was writing about BP well before the Macondo Well Blowout on April 20, 2010.

Part I: BP History

• In this first part of the interview, we’d like to talk about your research into BP’s rise to power and some of the episodes in its history prior to the Gulf spill. Could you give us something of BP’s background, maybe going all the way back to its origins in the deserts of Persia a hundred years ago?
  • The D’Arcy Concession
  • Anglo-Persian oil
  • The name BP
  • Is/was British petroleum a national (i.e. British) company?

• Just how large was/is BP compared to the other big oil companies such as Mobil/Exxon and Royal Dutch Shell? How was it affected by merger-mania over the last several decades?

• You write extensively about (Lord) John Browne (of Madingly), CEO of BP from 1995 to 2007. In the late ’90s, he was credited with rebranding BP and making it a leader in green energy, parting company with the other big oil companies. Please tell us about Browne. Was BPs push to become green for real?

• But even as John Browne was talking about environmental issues, there were problems. Your own research and writing started in Neodesha , Kansas. What were the problems and consequences there?

• You also write about major problems–disasters–in Alaska and Texas. What did these tell us about BPs corporate policies, especially toward maintenance and safety? (personal safety vs. large-scale safety)

Part II: The Gulf and its Aftermath

You provide a minute by minute account of the explosion on the Deepwater Horizon. We found your narrative to be extremely well written and engaging. Would you read a little for us?

• We suggest p. 174, full para 3, “Within a couple of hours . . .” to p. 175 end of full para. 3, “Just then, a massive explosion occurred.” Or your choice of passages.

• Your book documents the months following the blowout in detail–the repeated unsuccessful efforts to cap the well, government intervention (and nonintervention), BP pledges to stay and pay ’till the problem was solved and remediated. What’s your take at this point on how well or badly that was done? What could/should have been done?

• Your book emphasizes the human costs of the tragedy:
  • You’ve spoken with family members of the men who were killed. What kinds of loss have they experienced?
  • Will the fishing and tourism industries recover?
  • Has BP genuinely compensated people for their losses?

Our guest has been Mike Magner, the book is Poisoned Legacy: The Human Cost of BP’s Rise to Power. It’s published by St. Martin’s, and we found it to be not only informative, but a page turner. We were hoping for a happy ending, but there isn’t one . . . yet.

A Little History of Oil

We were curious about the beginnings of the oil boom that has led to the Gulf disaster and found this story from the Paleontological Research Institute

The Story of Oil in History of Petroleum
http://www.priweb.org/ed/pgws/history/pennsylvania/pennsylvania2.html

The most important oil well ever drilled was in the middle of quiet farm country in Titusville in northwestern Pennsylvania in 1859. For this was one of the first successful oil wells that was drilled for the sole purpose of finding oil. Known as the Drake Well, after “Colonel” Edwin Drake, the man responsible for the well, it began an international search for petroleum, and in many ways eventually changed the way we live Why did Drake choose Titusville, Pennsylvania. to drill for oil? Well, the number one beacon was the many active oil seeps in the region. As it turns out, there had already been wells drilled that had struck oil in the region. The only problem was, they weren’t drilling for oil. Instead, they were looking for salt water or just plain drinking water. When they struck oil, they considered it a nuisance and abandoned the well. At the time, no one really knew what to do with the stuff if they found it. The truth was, Edwin Drake was not a “Colonel” of anything. He and his financiers simply invented the title to impress the locals, many of whom laughed at what was, for a time, known as “Drake’s Folly”. With the financial backing of the newly formed Pennsylvania Rock Oil Company (soon to be renamed Seneca Oil Company), Drake set off to Titusville, Pennsylvania in 1857 to survey the situation. Drilling began in the summer of 1859. There were many problems with this well, and progress was slow and financially costly. The initial money the investors had fronted Drake ran out, and he had to borrow more to keep drilling.\ On August 27, 1859, Drake and Smith drilled to a depth of 21.18 m (69 1/2 feet). It was not until the next morning, on August 28, when the driller, “Uncle Billy” Smith, noticed oil floating in the hole they had pulled the drilling tools from the night before. By today’s standards, it was a pretty unremarkable hole, probably producing 20 barrels or less of oil per day. The timing could not have been better. Most of the financial backers had given up on the project and sent Drake the order to pay the remaining bills and close up shop. Drake received this order on the very day that he struck oil. Almost overnight, the quiet farming region changed in much the same manner as the gold rush towns of the Wild West. The flats in the narrow valley of Oil Creek, averaging only around 330 m (~1000 feet) wide were quickly leased, and hastily constructed derricks erected. Towns sprang up out of nowhere with people coming from all over looking to make their fortunes. This once quiet area suddenly became louder than anyone could have imagined, with steam engines and other types of machinery necessary to run the hundreds of wells that sprang up in the valley in the first couple of years. And the mud was fast becoming legendary. Due to the lack of geological knowledge of the rocks beneath which were actually producing the oil, wells were drilled almost at random in those first few years. Photographs show that derricks were built at extremely close proximity to one another in an attempt to get as much oil out of the ground as fast as one could. Frequent fires often raged out of control. In fact Drake’s initial well only last a few months before it burned to the ground. A second well was erected shortly thereafter. Consider this – Pennsylvania was responsible for 1/2 of the WORLD’S production of oil until the East Texas oil boom of 1901.

Tonight, In the first part of the hour we’ll be on the phone to Denver, where we will talk with Nada Culver, counsel for the Wilderness Society. She and the Society are concerned about recent softening of legislation that will undercut the Bureau of Land Management’s ability to protect millions of acres of wilderness from dangers ranging from off-road vehicles to oil drilling and mining.

Later, we’ll review some recent news about other efforts to protect the planet–land, sea, animals and other living things–and to protect our food supply.

Listen to the Program

Our Discussion with Nada Culver

As you probably know, the federal Bureau of Land Management owns and administers vast quantities of land in the west. BLM land is currently under some protection from encroachment by developers, oil drillers, recreational enthusiasts, and other who might despoil the land. But the Wilderness Society reports that some of those protections are under attack. With us on the phone from Denver to discuss these problems is Nada Culver, senior counsel of the Wilderness Society’s BLM Action Center. Welcome, Nada.
–To begin, please tell us a little about the BLM Action Center and its purpose within the Wilderness Society.
–Will you give us some background on the BLM itself? What’s its mission? How much land does it actually control? What legal standing and legislation does BLM have in place to protect those lands?
–The Wilderness Society is concerned about proposed legislation and “a backroom deal”. Please explain for us:
…BLM’s new Wildlands Policy that has been “stopped in its tracks”
…The proposed Wilderness and Roadless Area Release Act
–We lived in Nevada for some time and are very fond of Alder Creek, known historically for its connection with the ill-fated Donner party. It’s one of the areas in Nevada that would be under attack. What might happen to Alder Creek if the bill proposed by Rep. Kevin McCarthy passes? Could you give us examples of other areas that might be damaged as a result of the bill?
–What kind of involvement has the Obama administration had in these dealings? Is his administration providing adequate support–or any support at all–to the wildlands preservation effort? What has Secretary Salazar had to say? –What are the next actions that we might see in the halls of Congress? What is the Wilderness Society’s plan and strategy to oppose and reverse bad decisions?
–How can concerned listeners become involved in these actions? We’re posting the link to the Wilderness Society on our website. <wilderness.org/> Are there other organizations or resources that we should investigate?

Other Efforts to Save the Earth

Florida Rivers. Here’s a news story from June 24 from EarthJustice <http://Earthjustice>, a non-profit public interest law firm “dedicated to protecting the magnificent places, natural resources, and wildlife of this earth, and to defending the right of all people to a healthy environment.” David Guest writes about the “sliming” of South Flordia: “Algae season peaks with warm sun and abundant nutrients–Green slime on Caloosahatchee River”. He says:

As I write this, half of the 75-mile long Caloosahatchee River in southwest Florida is covered by nauseating green slime. It’s a heartbreaking sight – dead fish wash up along the banks, and waterfront homes have a pricey view of a stinking mess. One dismayed homeowner told me he plans to petition local government to lower his property valuation because his waterfront lifestyle is now so gross that no one would ever want to live there. It is so bad that local health authorities are warning people not to even touch the water, fish or let their pets near it because it is toxic. This toxic algae outbreak is a direct result of too much phosphorus and nitrogen that comes from fertilizer, sewage and manure pollution. This is the same thing that happened last summer on the St. Johns River outside Jacksonville – a 100-mile swath of green slime essentially shut the river down to boaters and fishermen. This is the water that supplies kitchen taps for Florida families. This is the water that tourists come to play in, contributing badly needed revenue into our state economy. As my colleague Joan Mulhern in Washington so aptly described it: The maddening reality is that this pollution is preventable. We sued under the Clean Water Act, and in 2009, we negotiated an historic settlement with the Environmental Protection Agency in which the EPA agreed to set enforceable numeric standards in Florida for phosphorus and nitrogen. On Nov. 15, 2010, EPA set nutrient pollution limits for Florida’s freshwaters and lakes after spending years coordinating with state scientists to get the right numbers. That’s when the maddening political posturing began. Florida sued the EPA to block the new pollution limits. Florida’s new governor, Rick Scott, is doing everything he can to help polluters fight Florida’s water cleanup, even though everyone knows Florida’s tourism-fueled economy depends on clean water. Florida Congressman John Mica acted for polluters and against his constituents by sponsoring H.R. 2018, legislation he characterized as an effort to “rein in” the Obama administration EPA, which he claimed has “run roughshod” over states. Mica’s very bad legislation – which will hamstring the EPA’s ability to enforce the Clean Water Act in Florida and elsewhere — passed the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee by a vote of 35–20 on June 22. This is not about the state versus the EPA. This is about clean water versus dirty water, plain and simple. This legislation turns back the clock to a time when the Cuyahoga River was on fire, where there were oil spills all across California beaches and the majority of our drinking water was unfit to drink. These politicians are obviously living in a very different universe than the people on the Caloosahatchee River, who look out at the green slime, warn their pets and children away from the water, and ask: Why isn’t someone doing something about this public health crisis? You can read the full story at earthjustice.org <http://earthjustice.org/blog/2011-june/unwanted-green-tourism-slimes-florida>

The Seas. There is also continuing work to preserve Ocean Health, a daunting and occasionally discouraging task. But there are some optimistic signs. A few months ago we interviewed biologist Carl Safina about his book, The View from Lazy Point, describing changes he has seen in fish flows and populations near his home in Long Island. Now Carl has prepared a series airing on PBS. It’s called SAVING THE OCEAN:

In one episode called “Shark Reef,” Carl travels to Belize’s Glover’s Reef Marine Reserve, where harks are thriving in the Reserve, in contrast to large parts of the world where the fin trade kills millions of sharks every year. The Reserve, which covers an entire Caribbean coral atoll, allows some fishing but bans longlines and nets – the methods most lethal to sharks. He also heads to the Belize City fish market, where the resident fin trader shows him bags of dried shark fins ready for sale. The huge global trade in shark fins – to make shark fin soup – is driving many shark species to extinction, but Carl finds hope in the idea of marine reserves, and in changing consumer tastes in China.

In another Episode of Saving the Ocean, The Sacred Island , Carl Safina travels to the island of Pemba, part of the Zanzibar island chain off the East African coast, where local fishing villages are winning control over their vital fishing grounds. Once threatened by resort development, Pemba’s pristine reefs and lagoons – World Heritage candidates – are now managed by, and for, the fishermen.

And in a forthcoming episode, The Great Whale Comeback, he studies the near-extinction and remarkable increase of great whales in much of the world. In the North Atlantic the Gray Whale was hunted to extinction and the Right Whale’s hold on existence remains tenuous – but Humpbacks, Finbacks, Minkes and others have increased impressively. In the Pacific the Blue Whale is also on an impressive recovery streak, Sperm Whales are common in some places, and Gray Whales allow tourists to pet them.

Other episodes by Carl Safina on Saving the Ocean include: Have Your Shrimp and Eat Them, where he explores sustainable shrip farming methods that avoid mangrove destruction; and Fish and Rocket Science, dicussing ways of reversing fish declines in Australia’s Great Barrier Reef and Cape Cod. Additional programs will cover swordfish, the white marlin, tuna and dolphins, and that dinosaur of the deep: the leatherback turtle. Both the dvds and the program schedule are available at the pbs web site<http://www.pbs.org/programs/saving-the-ocean/tv-schedule/>

Farmaggedon. Last week we talked with Chris Kerston of Chaffin Family Orchards about “Farmaggedon: The Unseen War on Family Farms,” being shown tomorrow night at the El Ray theater. Filmmaker Kristin Carty will be on hand to discuss the film, which documents attacks–literal attacks–on family farms that are not part of the industrial agriculture juggernaut. It’s a shocking film and speaks directly to the need for us to protect our access to local, undrugged, unpoisoned food.

The event is a fundraiser for the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund, which helps protect family farms and other providers of locally sourced products from undue harassment.The last we heard, the show at the El Ray is nearly a sellout, but you can go to Chico Natural Foods to check for tickets or go online to <farmageddon.eventbrite.com> for ticket info. Also, the film will be out as a DVD in a few months; check out the website at Farmaggedonthemovie.com.
