He advocates carbon capture technology as part of the mix of solutions to climate change. Many environmentalists are not sold. Plus, blue cities get tough on crime, but also the opposite.  And in the Spiel, the state of the State of the Union as a speech, phrase, and dance floor banger.

the memory palace - Episode 213: The Light and the Spirits

The Memory Palace is a proud member of Radiotopia from PRX.

Music

  • Abisme by Shida Shahadi
  • Ellen’s Image from Lalo Schiffiren’s genius score to The Fox
  • Circulation by H. Takahasi
  • Liquid Spear Waltz from Michael Andrews’ score to Donnie Darko
  • A8 from a terrific record called NuNu by Clever Austin

Notes

  • I found a lot of insight in a terrific book called Extraordinary Beliefs by Peter Lamont. In it, there’s a smart historical, psychological exploration of why spiritualism was able to flourish despite all sorts of evidence opposing it.

Consider This from NPR - Generations After The First Nuclear Test, Those Sickened Fight For Compensation

On August 6, 1945, a stone-faced President Harry Truman appeared on television and told Americans about the atomic bomb being dropped on Hiroshima.

The attack on Hiroshima marked the first time nuclear power was used in war, but the atomic bomb was actually tested a month earlier in the Jornada del Muerto desert of New Mexico.

At least hundreds of New Mexicans were harmed by the test's fallout. Radiation creeped into the grass their cows grazed, on the food they ate, and the water they drank.

A program compensating victims of government-caused nuclear contamination has been in place since 1990, but it never included downwinders in New Mexico, the site of the very first nuclear test.

This week, the Senate voted to broaden the bi-partisan legislation that could compensate people who have suffered health consequences of radiation testing. Now, the bill will go to a House vote.

Generations after the Trinity Nuclear Test, will downwinders in New Mexico finally get compensation?
