Amiller-headshot I am devoting several programs to the topic of Preparing For Peak Oil in the wake of hearing two presentations on the topic that shocked even this battle-weary environmental journalist. First up on The Green Front is Asher Miller, Executive Director of The Post Carbon Institute. We'll talk about what to expect now that the national debt has far exceeded GDP and our demand for oil is quickly outpacing our ability to sustain consumption. Buckle up, this show – and subject matter – are not for the weak of heart nor meek of mind!

6a00d8341bfbc053ef011279650e3028a4-800wi Joseph Romm is a senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress. His blog is Climate Progress. As yet another record-breaking 'blizzaster' grips the east coast AND beyond, Joe and I wonder aloud what it will take to get America to notice Ma Nature is trying to tell us something – it's later than we think!
The winds are howling, snow piling up, travel at a standstill and Australia is also in the midst of a record setting category 5 storm with winds up 200 mph. Blizzards, tornados and floods, oh my! What's a concerned citizen to do? Start a Green Tea Party I say…
