Today we actually have two topics to discuss, first I will give you my initial thoughts on the new reality television series “The Colony“.  This show was a pleasant surprise so far so tune in to get my thoughts on this show that places 10 folks into a true SHTF scenario.

Then I switch gears and get you thinking about your fall gardening projects.  I know it is mid summer, temps are over 100 in many areas and fall seems miles away.  It isn’t!  Many of us are already 14 weeks or less to our first killing frost and need to start acting now.  Others may not be there yet but we need to start planning.  I will tell you want to plant now and how to plan for the big production you can expect at the end of the season as well.

We take a break today from the listener call in shows to do a review of a T.V. show that ran on ABC last night called “Earth 2100″.  This was an interesting look at what was called a “worse case scenario” over the next 91 Years.

Tune in Today to Hear…

  • Wast Earth 2100 a global warming propaganda piece?  Yes and no.
  • Would Lake Mead really run dry is that the real threat to our water supply
  • Can we actually build “self sufficient” sky scrapers?  Yes but it doesn’t mean we will.
  • The left out real potential energy sources (geothermal and tidal)
  • How environmentalism is actually preventing the giant solar farms depicted in 2012
  • What all large scale power generation has in common mechanically
  • A positive outlook about being an armed citizen, will someone at ABC get fired for that?
  • Why New York really could end up “underwater” and what was accurate about that depiction.
  • Could a global pandemic really kill billions?
  • Why global warming is a problem even though I don’t think carbon is the trigger.
  • How the “worse case scenario” may actually be far to optimistic.
  • The fallacy that New York and San Diego will be the “safe places” during the initial breakdown.
  • Why individual action not the fascist cooperation of government and industry.
