Jusper Machogu lives in Kisii, Kenya, where he and his family grow corn and other crops on a one-acre plot of land. In this episode, Jusper, who writes about his daily life on Substack, explains how little electricity his family uses, (less than 200 kilowatt-hours per year), why Africa “cannot develop without fossil fuels,” what climate activists get wrong, the soaring cost of fertilizer, and why if farmers like him don’t have “access to fertilizer, we are doomed.” (Recorded July 11, 2023.) 

In this episode of Flanigan’s Eco-Logic, Ted speaks with Jay Turner, Professor of Environmental Studies at Wellesley College and Author of Charged: A History of Batteries and Lessons for a Clean Energy Future.

Jay is also Author of The Promise of Wilderness: American Environmental Politics since 1964 (2012), which focuses on debates over public lands protection in the United States. His second book, The Republican Reversal: Conservatives and the Environment from Nixon to Trump (2018, co-authored) details the evolution of conservative opposition to environmental reform, culminating with the Trump administration. 

He and Ted discuss his background, growing up in Virginia, attending Washington and Lee University, Brown University, and Princeton University for his PhD in environmental history. Jay has been teaching in the Environmental Studies Program at Wellesley College since the fall of 2006, and has also been active in sustainability initiatives at Wellesley and nearby communities, especially those pertaining to energy and climate change. In 2017, he helped lead a community solar campaign in Natick, Massachusetts that resulted in more than 150 new solar installations.  

His most recent book, Charged: A History of Batteries and Lessons for a Clean Energy Future, unpacks the history of batteries to explore why solving the battery problem is crucial to a clean energy transition. He highlights their many uses: powering zero-emission vehicles, storing electricity from solar panels and wind turbines, and modernizing the electric grid, and demonstrates that they are essential to scaling up the renewable energy resources that help address global warming. He also digs into batteries' unique environmental impact—including mining, disposal, and more—questioning a clean energy transition risk trading one set of problems for another. With new insight on questions of justice and sustainability, Charged draws on the past for crucial lessons that will help us build a clean energy future, from the ground up.

Camille Madison, Aquinnah Wampanoag tribal language educator and organizer for environmental justice discusses the illegal extractions on protected pine barrens in Cape Cod, wind turbines, and the boycott of Plimoth Pautuxet over decades of whitewashing and miseducation.

The Inflation Reduction Act, signed into law this summer by President Joe Biden, is one of the most significant actions the U.S. government has ever taken to address climate change. It could also lead to more mining in Alaska.

In this episode, host Elizabeth Harball is joined by ADN reporter Alex DeMarban, who dug into how the Inflation Reduction Act incentivizes mining for so-called critical minerals, essential to building the wind turbines, solar panels, batteries and other technology needed for the world to cut carbon emissions. It turns out Alaska has many of the critical minerals the U.S. is looking for to help deal with climate change — but also long-running concerns about mining’s impacts to fisheries, subsistence and more.

Alaaeddin is someone you can spend entire afternoons chatting with about life, experiences, and of course, science. His studies and career in chemistry brought him around the world, living, working, and studying in several countries, accumulating life learnings that made him the person and the scientist he is today.

Dr. Alsbaiee has worked in an industrial environment since his PhD and is not afraid of new challenges. His polymer chemistry background allowed him to work on some incredible applications, such as the materials of which turbine blades are made, or sophisticated methods to manufacture electronic microchips. 

This is a textbook Bringing Chemistry to Life conversation, where you can see the person in their science, you’ll learn about Chemical Mechanical Planarization (CMP), polymer chemistry, and their role in our everyday life as well as the importance of imagination in chemical research.
