Part 1:
We talk with Phil McKenna, who writes for Climate News.
We discuss the morphing of RFK Jr. from environmentalist to Trumpian opposoer to climate-friendly policies. We review his opposition to off-shore wind farms, such as Cape Wind, to similar initiatives.
Part 2:
We speak with Mario Alejandro Ariza, who writes for Floodlight.
We discuss the use of “Ghost candidates” in electoral races in Florida, and how various election spoilers are involved. These candidates are solicited and hired by “consultants” to run for office to reduce the chances of real candidates. These ghost candidates are not expected to win, but only to subvert the candidacy of others. The “consultants” are funded with dark money. This is usually a tactic used by Republicans and industry groups (Florida Power and Light) to prevent the success of reformers.
