We then switch to “zombie reactors” and the great investigative reporter ROGER RAPOPORT’s scoop on the decimation of the expert labor force at Michigan’s Palisades nuke and the industry’s own insiders warning of a 1/20 chance of a major accident within 14 months of Palisades re-opening..
Solartopia Show co-host KEVIN KAMPS gives us the run-down on the insane Keystone Kops fiasco of trying to re-start shut nukes like TMI, Duane Arnold & Palisades.

Ihren Ausweis, bitte!”
Show me your papers!
You’ve seen it in a dozen World War II movies. Some menacing German officer in a Hugo Boss trench coat stops the family/spy/hero/refugee to demand citizenship papers.
And now, it’s baaack! Trump’s Executive Order 14399 requires Americans to “show me your citizenship papers” to vote.
But you can fight this Nazi-fication of our elections. Start by watching this 4-minute video from Palast Investigative Fund Fellow Edward Ward, second in our series Jim Crow Reloaded.
President Isaac Herzog recently granted Elor Azaria clemency, shortening the period before the remainder of his criminal record could be erased. He did so despite opposition from the military's chief of staff.
In March 2016, Azaria shot and killed 21-year-old Palestinian Abdulfattah al-Sharif in Hebron while al-Sharif was wounded and lying incapacitated on the ground.
Azaria, who was serving as an IDF medic, approached the wounded al-Sharif and fatally shot him in the head from a few feet away. A video of the shooting was published by B'Tselem and went viral on Israeli social media, sparking widespread controversy and renewed debate over Israel's characterization of the IDF as "the most moral army in the world."
Back from the Brink is hosting a Week of Action focused on highlighting and growing congressional leadership on nuclear disarmament starting Monday, September 21 — the annual International Day of Peace and ending Saturday, September 26 —the United Nations Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons.
The Week of Action kicks off our fall push to secure 20 more cosponsors for House Resolution 317 and Senate Resolution 323 by the end of the year.
These two Back from the Brink resolutions currently have 70 cosponsors, and articulate our five policy solutions to prevent nuclear war and achieve a world free of nuclear weapons.
It is hard to imagine how President Donald Trump’s insane assertions might go beyond the point of being merely demented to something far worse, i.e. catastrophic. Last week provided one such experience when Trump reportedly rushed back from Camp David to the White House so he could contemplate the possibility of “destroying Iran” with the intention of stealing the country’s oil just like he and Secretary of State Marco Rubio did in Venezuela after first abducting that country’s elected leaders. But even better than gleefully wrecking a country of 90 million people solely because Israel is presumably telling him to “do it” was the bit of domestic unraveling that followed.
Largest floating array installed in Ohio comes online
D3Energy has energized a 6-MW floating solar array on a village reservoir in Monroeville, Ohio. It is the largest floating solar system in the state and among the five largest in the country.
Roughly one-third of Ohio's 88 counties have restricted utility-scale solar since a 2021 state law gave them that authority. Monroeville has embraced solar for nearly a decade. The village's 4-MW ground-mounted array has been running since 2017.
The floating array is Monroeville's second solar project. Its array floats on 12 acres of water the village already owned. Between the two, the village of 1,300 has roughly 13-times as much solar per resident as the rest of Ohio, one of the highest concentrations per capita in the state.
Tesla's solar gigafactory clears key tax hurdle
Tesla's proposed $10.1 billion solar cell and module manufacturing facility in Texas has cleared a major local regulatory hurdle following a unanimous vote by a Houston-area school board.
You’ve seen Tape-Op Magazine in any Rock N Roll producer worth drinking with living room’s table near a liquor bottle. Akashic released a book Tape-Op Making Music Conversations With Record Producers which is edited by Tape-Op Magazine’s Larry Crane with John Baccigaluppi.
Tape-Op conversations with legendary producers starts with a premise – What does a Record Producer Do?
The table of contents Tape-Op Making Music Conversations With Record Producers is an impressive scroll. If you’re from a Hip Hop background, then your eyes become huge. RZA, Hank Shocklee, Jon Brion and Mark Ronson are interviewed.
Then you look at the Table of Contents again. Tape-Op’s book interviewed Lee Scratch Perry, Brian Eno, Jack Antonoff and Finneas O’Connell.
I started reading Tape-Op Making Music Conversations from the beginning because I assumed these other 20+ producers are important. I’m reading Glyn Johns discussing working with the Rolling Stones and other Rock N Roll legends like the Beatles, The Who, the Eagles and Led Zeppelin.
