From Across the Pond: Fire, Flood, and the Fight for Common Sense
They also dig into risky infrastructure, like old power lines and smart meters, and explain why better safety plans matter now more than ever. The conversation turns to the Kansas wildfires, where the high number of separate fires raises serious questions, including concerns Teresa has written about before. From ash falling like snow to the role of wind and power lines, they connect the dots on what puts towns at risk. Then the focus shifts to Europe, where massive flooding in France shows the other side of the climate threat. Teresa explains how dam removal and changing river systems can make floods worse, while Trent shares insight on U.S. energy policy and why coal plants sit idle despite huge reserves. This episode delivers hard facts, real-world stories, and a clear call for smart, practical solutions that protect people first.
