When the BioMass Hits the Wind Turbine

025 - Raising Dairy Goats (part 3)

Raising goats on a homestead is both rewarding and challenging.  This series discusses the issues and solutions found at Blue Rock Station in raising and caring for a small herd of dairy goats.  (Part 2 of an ongoing series).

035 - Wind Energy (from Wind Mills to Wind Turbines)

Wind turbines now produce about 7% of the nation's electricity.   In some states it is as much as 30%.  It is one of the fastest growing industries in the world, yet it receives constant attacks - most from fossil fuel backed groups that claim wind kills thousands of birds and bats, causes tumors, causes hair loss, changes the climate, and can make you deaf.  Find out what is true and what is so much horse hockey about the wind.  Join Annie and Jay Warmke of Blue Rock Station for a discussion of the realities of sustainable living.

034 - Healing with Herbs (Natural Medicine)

Herbal medicine, or natural healthcare has literally been around for centuries - yet those who practice it are still labeled as crackpots or witches (okay, maybe a couple centuries out of date with labeling) by the medical establishment that is very nearly always proved wrong by the next medical establishment that is later proved wrong... and so it goes.  Join Annie and Jay Warmke of Blue Rock Station for a discussion of the realities of sustainable living.

023 - Raising Dairy Goats (part 2)

Raising goats on a homestead is both rewarding and challenging.  This series discusses the issues and solutions found at Blue Rock Station in raising and caring for a small herd of dairy goats.  (Part 2 of an ongoing series).

033 - Living a Net Zero Lifestyle

We have heard of net zero energy.  Net zero construction. But the heart of sustainability is seeking to live a net zero life.  How do you get through this life with as little adverse impact on the generations that follow.  Join Annie and Jay Warmke of Blue Rock Station for a discussion of the realities of sustainable living.

032 - From Whale Oil to Kerosene (Dead White Scientist Series)

The search for energy has largely been a search for light.  We have evolved from huddling around campfires, to burning candles made of animal fat, to hunting whales on the oceans, to refining oil and ultimately the electric light.  This is a journey filled with adventure, fortunes, misfortunes - but mostly lies and lawyers.  Join Annie and Jay Warmke of Blue Rock Station for a discussion of sustainable living - and the Dead White Scientists that made it all possible.

030 - Aging Sustainably

We all age - at least the lucky among us.  Yet our society treats aging as a disease, and the systems created to "help" are for the most part insane.  How can we age gracefully and sustainably?  Join Annie and Jay Warmke from Blue Rock Station for a discussion of sustainable living in the real world.

 

 

029 - The Man Who Invented Everything (William Murdoch) - Dead White Scientist Series

Probably the most important scientist that you have never heard of.  It can be claimed (and we will claim it) that William Murdoch was involved in creating or perfecting most of the major inventions that brought us through the Industrial Revolution to the modern age.  From the steam engine to the locomotive, to the automobile to the steam boat - he even invented the pneumatic tube (that thing that delivers checks at the bank) and a way to purify beer with fish.  Join Annie and Jay Warmke of Blue Rock Station for a discussion of sustainable living - and the Dead White Scientists that made it all possible.

028 - Future of Sustainability

We all know the major systems in our society - communication, fuel, transportation, food, housing, economy - are dependent on unsustainable foundations.  How will these systems evolve to meet the challenges of a world with limited resources?  Join Annie and Jay Warmke from Blue Rock Station for a discussion of sustainable living in the real world.
