Liberal Talk Radio

After a long hiatus, the Prof and I returned to Drinking Liberally last night where Rep. Jay Inslee was a guest speaker. Good to have a beer with Jay, a solid congressman from Western WA. Jay said he was headed down to Olympia today to file this initiative, requiring WA to get 15 percent of its electricity from renewable sources. It’s interesting that they don’t count hydro power as renewable. I don’t know if that’s because hydro has a bad rap (damns hurt salmon population), or because if you did count hydro, we’d be way pas 15 percent. I think we get something like half our electricity from hydro.

Nevertheless, good conversations were had, and perhaps there’s even a Drinking Liberally podcast in the works. We talked with Gavin and Richard of The Confab Show, as well as David Goldstein about it. Possibilities abound.
