We throw caution to the wind this week and go all muppets for a muppet music special...muppet facts, muppet music but we can say the hosts are not muppets, which may or may not be a good thing.

A new argument is emerging in favor of using nuclear to cover the increased power demands of Artificial Intelligence, and - almost as an afterthought - fuel the green transition to solar and wind. Legislation in Congress, such as the Advance Act, supported by the Biden administration, has already passed, with bi—partisan support, as recently as June 2024. It is written to fund all stages of the cycle - from uranium mining to accelerated building and licensing of new nuclear power plants. Strangely the mining industry has always prepared for the new market in uranium. And we all would have known had we attended their conferences. The program begins with an interview from the World's Premier Mineral Exploration & Mining Convention. They convened in March, 2024, in Toronto, Canada. Jeremy Szafron interviews Amir Adnani, President and CEO of Uranium Energy Corp. Linda Pentz Gunter comments on the passage of the Advance Act in June of 2024 with overwhelming bipartisan support and quickly signed by Joe Biden. Linda Pentz Gunter founded Beyond Nuclear in 2007. They support grassroots, national and international efforts to phase out nuclear power in favor of safer energy choices with which to address the climate crisis. Thanks to Nuclear Hotseat for the quote. Meanwhile Elon Musk - along with the most notorious billionaires - is driving the charge for nuclear power to fuel data centers for artificial intelligence. This program ends with excerpts from his podcast the “ELON MUSK EVOLUTION” Come back when TUC Radio returns for the questions raised by all who warned of the dangers of uranium mining, left behind toxic waste, the toxic byproducts from making nuclear fuel, the risks from reactor accidents, the fact that so far only one permanent repository for nuclear waste is under construction in this world. It’s in Finland and needs to last 100,000 years. That’s how long the waste will remain toxic to life. DATE: June 2024

In this episode of Half-Cocked Tales, the hosts discuss various topics including the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, the fascination with organized crime, and the potential dangers of artificial intelligence and nuclear bombs. They then move on to the challenge of deciphering the Vesuvius scrolls, the dangers of contaminated 'Real Water’. As always there’s “Fact Checkin’ Time”, where guests try to tell which news headlines were fact checked stories and which weren’t. To end the discussion, the hosts examine the benefits of Tai Chi for high blood pressure. They mention a study from the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences that found Tai Chi to be more effective in reducing high blood pressure than other forms of aerobic exercise. The hosts express their surprise and interest in this finding and discuss the positive effects of Tai Chi on the body and mind. They also mention the accessibility and simplicity of Tai Chi compared to other forms of exercise.

Excerpts from World Beyond War's No to NATO conference, held July 6, 2024 in Washington, DC as a counter-summit to NATO's 75th anniversary summit held the following week. The final segment is from the 2024 conference of the United National AntiWar Coalition, held April 5 -7 in St. Paul, MN. I've previously posted these excerpts to radio4all, but not in a radio-ready format. Instead, they were posted as part of longer (> 60 min) audio files or, in the case of the final segment, as a short stand-alone file.
