Everything Everywhere Daily - The Past, Present, and Future of Coal

Ancient people around the world all made a rather similar discovery. In certain places, they could find a black stone in the ground which could burn.

For the most part, this combustible black rock took a backseat to wood as a fuel source, but eventually, it replaced wood and was the fuel source that drove the industrial revolution. 

Over time, other energy sources supplanted coal, and now coal appears to be on its way out. 

Learn more about coal, its past, present, and future as a source of energy, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NBN Book of the Day - The Future of War: A Discussion with Mark Galeotti

Wars have always been fought in different ways, depending not only on the manpower available – elite professional armies to mass mobilization of whole populations - but also on technological developments, all the way from medieval siege engines to modern fighter jets. Recent developments suggest that there is much more rapid change to come as information campaigns, crime and subversion become weaponised in new ways. Mark Galeotti has been thinking about all these things for a long time. Today I talked to him about his book The Weaponization of Everything: A Field Guide to the New Way of War (Yale UP, 2022).

Owen Bennett-Jones is a freelance journalist and writer. A former BBC correspondent and presenter he has been a resident foreign correspondent in Bucharest, Geneva, Islamabad, Hanoi and Beirut. He is recently wrote a history of the Bhutto dynasty which was published by Yale University Press.

What A Day - Location Sharing With Homeland Security

Heat waves are devastating people in Europe and North America this summer. In the U.K. it’s hotter than the Sahara Desert, and in the U.S. 35 million Americans are currently living in places with excessive heat warnings this week.

The ACLU published “thousands of pages of previously unreleased records” on Monday about the government surreptitiously collecting people’s private information without a warrant. The report shows that the Department of Homeland Security — including border protection and ICE — buys access to data from hundreds of millions of phones.

And in headlines: a West Virginia judge blocked the enforcement of the state’s 150-year-old abortion ban, Uber settled a discrimination lawsuit, and Steve Bannon’s trial started.

The Daily Signal - Rep. Lance Gooden: Big Tech Companies Practically ‘Own the Government’

Congressional Democrats and Republicans agree that Big Tech companies are too powerful, says a Texas congressman who is a leader on the issue.


“These Big Tech companies have gotten to the point that they own the government, in a sense,” Rep. Lance Gooden, co-chair and co-founder of the Freedom From Big Tech Caucus, says, adding that “people are tired of being censored, of being policed, by Big Tech.”


With many Democrats agreeing that Congress should place some limits on the power of Big Tech platforms, the Biden administration has called on these companies to stop the spread of "misinformation" or "disinformation."


During an interview with Axios on climate change, White House national climate adviser Gina McCarthy said that “tech companies have to stop allowing specific individuals over and over again to spread disinformation." 


To fix this problem, the former Environmental Protection Agency administrator said, "we need the tech companies to really jump in."


Gooden joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss the dangers of Big Tech companies' policing information, and how his Freedom From Big Tech Caucus is working to rein in platforms such as Google and Twitter.


Also on today’s show, we cover these stories:

  • Dr. Anthony Fauci, chief medical officer to the president and head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, says he plans to retire at the end of President Joe Biden’s term.
  • A new report details "failures" in the law enforcement response to the school shooting that left 21 dead in Uvalde, Texas.
  • According to data from Gallup polling, Americans' confidence in newspapers and television news has sunk to an all-time low.
