Afl. 49: Martin Junginger (Universiteit Utrecht) over feiten en fabels in het biomassa-debat
Met de strijd tegen een centrale in Diemen, staat de kritiek op biomassa weer vol in de schijnwerpers. Helemaal niet duurzaam, een regelrechte ramp, zeggen sommigen. Volgens anderen is biomassa niet alleen duurzaam maar ook absoluut nodig. Aan meningen geen gebrek, maar hoe zit het echt? Dat vraag ik aan prof. dr. Martin Junginger, hoogleraar Bio-based Economy, Energy & Resources aan het Copernicus Instituut voor Duurzame Ontwikkeling van de Universiteit Utrecht.

Ted Chiang on Free Will, Time Travel, Many Worlds, Genetic Engineering, and Hard Science Fiction
Steve and Corey speak with Ted Chiang about his recent story collection "Exhalation" and his inaugural essay for the New York Times series, Op-Eds from the Future. Chiang has won Nebula and Hugo awards for his widely influential science fiction writing. His short story "Story of Your Life," was the basis of the film Arrival (2016). Their discussion explores the scientific and philosophical ideas in Ted’s work, including whether free will is possible, and implications of AI, neuroscience, and time travel. Ted explains why his skepticism about whether the US is truly a meritocracy leads him to believe that the government-funded genetic modification he envisages in his Op-Ed would not solve the problem of inequality.

Open Source and Power with Matt Mullenweg
Rework is a podcast by the makers of Basecamp about a better way to work and run your business. While the prevailing narrative around successful entrepreneurship tells you to scale fast and raise money, we think there’s a better way. We’ll take you behind the scenes at Basecamp with co-founders Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson and bring you stories from business owners who have embraced bootstrapping, staying small, and growing slow.

Broiler chicken farmers make way more money that anyone admits:
Farmers in general make more money than non-farming Americans & have since the mid-90s: https://www.ers.usda.gov/topics/farm-economy/farm-household-well-being/income-and-wealth-in-context/ (Translate: yes, working-class farmers exist, and they’re still a lot better off than their non-farming working class peers. Meanwhile white-collar farmers, who also exist, are doing quite well.)
The USDA does a farm census every 10 years or so; the 1920 one gets referenced the most often bc it was the high-water mark for number of farmers in the US. (Which folks take to mean it’s “normal” except it wasn’t- farmer numbers were artificially inflated by super high food prices during World War I driving a lot of speculative investment & one last gasp of homesteading in places where there’s no way it…

Afl. 47: Jos Cozijnsen (Climate Neutral Group): “De verstandigste CO2-heffing is geen CO2-heffing.”
Nu de discussie over een extra CO2-heffing voor de industrie de verhoudingen in de politiek steeds meer op scherp zet, is het hoog tijd om feiten van fictie te scheiden: is zo’n heffing wel of geen goed idee en zo ja, hoe zou die er dan uit moeten zien? Oftewel hoe kan Nederland op een slimme, maar vooral betaalbare manier de reductiedoelen halen? Ik bespreek het met CO2- en ETS-specialist Jos Cozijnsen van de Climate Neutral Group.
