In this episode we are talking with Ron Davison about the facts related to CO2. I ran across Ron’s work a few months ago and thought he was really good at presenting the facts on this highly technical issue in a fairly easy to understand manner. He’s written a downloadable book on the subject and publishes regular position papers at his website <a href="https://www.climatechangeandmusic.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.climatechangeandmusic.com</a>.Ron is a chemical engineer and has a background in energy and CO2 having actually built a CO2 sequestration plant.Graphics that support this podcast can be found at:<a href="https://daveswinford.substack.com/p/temperature-and-climate-change" rel="nofollow">https://daveswinford.substack.com/p/</a>discussion-of-co2-with-ron-davison

In this episode we discuss the problem of storing energy and specifically renewable energy that is produced by wind turbines and solar arrays. Our guest for this episode is Francis Menton. Francis blogs at the ManhattanContrarian.com and writes about climate, energy and a little on politics. On his blog he takes a critical look at the storage techniques, costs and issues associated with renewable energy storage. He poses an interesting challenge of creating a demonstration program where some community, some area relies solely on renewable energy and available storage. You can read his latest article the demonstration program issue here: https://www.manhattancontrarian.com/blog/2022-10-2-without-a-demonstration-project-or-feasibility-study

In this episode we are going to give you an alternate perspective on the temperature increases supposedly caused by climate change.  The media and the climate crusaders would have you believe that it is causing irreparable harm to our world, that we are driving up temperatures beyond livable levels and dooming the future of younger generations. Is it really happening? Is any of that true? Is it really that bad? Graphics are available on my Substackhttps://daveswinford.substack.com/p/temperature-and-climate-change

In this episode of the Facts Are What Matter we are going to analyze and discuss the practicality, as far as energy, of moving from gasoline powered automobiles to all electric passenger cars and light trucks. We will calculate how much additional electricity is needed for 100% electric cars and light trucks. Then we will compute how much new generation we would need and if it could be met with current resources. How many nuclear reactors or solar arrays will be needed. How much real estate will that take. Finally we will answer if it can it be done by the 2050 goal or is it a &#34;Bright Green Impossibility&#34;.Links and graphics for this episode can be found at <a href="https://daveswinford.substack.com" rel="nofollow">https://daveswinford.substack.com</a>

I was fortunate to be joined on this episode by Dr. David Rasnick. Dr. Rasnick is one of those HIV/AIDS dissenting voices mentioned in the Real Anthony Fauci book. You will be hearing a discussion between myself and Dr. Rasnick about the book, the AIDS/HIV dogma, and its parallels to the current Covid situation.If you really want to know all the details and particulars of the AIDS/HIV hypothesis you are going to have to read the book or at least review some of the online materials.I’ll put some more info on my <a href="https://daveswinford.substack.com/" rel="nofollow">SubStack</a> where you can download this intro, get more information from the linked pages and if you subscribe to my <a href="https://daveswinford.substack.com" rel="nofollow">Substack </a>channel it’s a great way to get notified of new content and to post comments, rebuttals, or just yell and scream at everyone.
