Greep Zoom 251, Mon. Dec. 15, 2025, HOW TO PROTECT The 2026 ELECTION, Waldport, TRANSFORMING AMERICA’S ENERGY ECONOMY BY COST
Hour 1 & 2
PROTECTING DEMOCRACY IN WALDPORT & NATIONWIDE IN 2026
We begin GREEP #251 by commemorating the passing of Rob & Michelle Reiner.
Our own PAUL NEWMAN remembers him as a “really nice guy” & a true environmental activist, who will be deeply deeply missed..
The wonderful JOHN STEINER asks us to find a new term for “president of United States.”
Our engineer STEVE CARUSO suggest such an alternative, as does HEIDI VERTHALLER.
Our Laureate MIMI GERMAN gives us a poem and then introduces Waldport, Oregon’s MAYOR HEIDI…
…along with AMY ANDERSON of Indivisible and local petitioner TONY THIMAKIS, who’re fighting for democracy in this classic American small town.
We’re then joined by legendary election protection expert RAY LUTZ with a deep dive into how we can emerge from 2026 with our democracy in tact.
Among the key pillars of vote derangement are suppression of the popular vote, gerrymandering, ballot counting and audits, all of which demand massive grassroots activism.
In the spirit of our own John Brakey, we discuss the alternative of digital imaging to allow a meaningful count of millions of hand-marked paper ballots.
Alabama native DR. RUTH STRAUSS raises serious questions about the veracity the voting process in Los Angeles.
Radio host LYNN FEINERMAN underscores some of the major problems from Georgia 2024.
As MIKE HERSH makes it clear, it’s our responsibility to protect our elections, which in 2026—when we reconvene on January 5—to move ahead to win our democracy….or else!!!
Part 2
A DEEP DIVE INTO DIABLO CANYON & THE BLEAK FUTURE OF NUCLEAR POWER
We begin our definitive investigation of the economics of the Diablo Canyon nuke with JOHN GEESMAN.
This great California attorney cites corruption and Diablo’s scam of hundreds of millions of above market costs that are destroying the economy of California.
Geesman confirms that using PG&E’s own numbers, Diablo will cost California $5 billion over the next 5 years in over-market charges.
From the Mothers for Peace we hear from LINDA SEELEY emphasizes the safety aspects of this unregulated, uninsured radioactive nightmare.
Mothers stalwart LINDA PARKS warns that tritium emissions from Diablo exceed those still pouring out of Fukushima.
From Beyond Nuclear KEVIN KAMPS dismantles the insane attempt to re-open Michigan’s ancient, decrepit reactor at Palisades.
Safe Energy legend KARL GROSSMAN does the numbers of Long Island’s Shoreham, which he helped shut.
Karl reminds us of CRAC-2, the devastating Sandia Labs report on the apocalyptic damage that could come with the next reactor disaster.
He also reports on the massive network of seismic faults around and under the Diablo reactors.
Leading California energy economist ROBERT FREEHLING warns that Diablo is “cooking the oceans” as well as costing California ratepayers billions of extra dollars every year.
Freehling warns that “there is no total bill” for nuke operations but instead a “bottomless pit,” in which Diablo has been completely covered with battery storage guaranteeing that there’s virtually no chance of more blackouts.
Freehling cites “multiple documents” proving that Diablo is completely un-needed.
Our engineer STEVE CARUSO warns of the lethal radioactive fallout spreading throughout the Earth from these uninsured, unregulated nukes.
Our resident physician DR. RUTH STRAUSS cites her experiences at public hearings and asks what we can do to end this nightmare.
Media legend DAVID SALTMAN asks if these reactors might do better if they were public owned.
Renewable legend RON LEONARD mourns the loss of federal solar tax credits at the end of December, giving ratepayers the shaft on heating/cooling with clean solar/wind power.
Solar is now 1/10th the cost of nuclear, with far more than enough reliable capacity to replace Diablo, according to Robert Freehling.
Co-producer MYLA RESON emphasizes that public ownership of these reactors does not guarantee safe, cheap or clean operations.
Even public-owned nuke power in fact choke off cheaper energy, stripping the grid of solar/wind capacity, according to Leonard.
Curtailment of renewable, says Geesman, is in fact yet another cost of these obsolete reactors.
Radio host LYNN FEINERMAN cites the German town of Cherno, which after Chernobyl took over its local energy grid and converted to clean, cheap renewables.
Long-time activist MICKI LEADER cites rooftop solar & the need to disentangle ourselves from the utility-owned grid.
With a call to produce the definitive document on how much Diablo Canyon is wasting, & how it can be replaced with renewables…
….we will see you next year in Solartopia….on January 5, 2026. No Nukes everyone….

Setting Our Sights On Election Protection & Post Nuclear Survival
Our GREEP zoom #250 begins with a great ode from our beloved Poet Laureate MIMI GERMAN.
The wonderful MAGA escapee & blog leader JENNY GAGE then tells us more about her epic journey to freedom…& warns us that US Rep Adelita Grijalva has been pepper-sprayed by the ICE Gestapo.
With RAY LUTZ talking to us from the Big Island of Hawaii, we hear both about the wonders of volcanic eruptions & the desperate need to protect the upcoming 2026 elections.
Our engineer STEVE CARUSO introduces serious questions being raised about Tennessee’s recent US Congressional race.
Legendary media mogul DAVID SALTMAN questions whether the election protection movement has had any impact on our body politic (it has!!).
Our second hour, devoted to nuclear safety, opens with the brilliant journalist ROGER RAPOPORT’s devastating account of the insane attempt to re-open Michigan’s decrepit Palisades nukes
Hero of the San Onofre shut-down RAY LUTZ jumps back in to explain the gargantuan failures that fueled the $600m waste at the shut southern California nukes.
The legendary KARL GROSSMAN adds the news from NY & the lunatic push by Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul to re-open the rotted reactors at Indian Point, just north of NYC.
Above it all looms the reality that solar, wind & battery technologies have completely out-stripped fossil/nukes, as emphasized by co-convenor MYLA RESON.
With the 2018 master plan meant to shut the Diablo nukes & make California 100% green, we approach 2026 with the dual mission to protect what’s left of our democracy while stripping the Earth of the fossil/nuke nightmare that threatens us all.
JOIN US to do just that!!!
No Nukes…& we’ll see you in Solartopia!!!

The group discussed the importance of grassroots organizing and voter turnout, with Ray highlighting the success of relational organizing in increasing Black voter turnout in Georgia and Virginia. The conversation ended with a brief mention of the impact of Marjorie Taylor Greene’s resignation and the need for continued focus on grassroots activities ahead of the 2026 elections.
Dr. Alankrita Olson presented a report on removing managed care organizations from Medicaid to address cost savings and improve healthcare access. She explained that this approach could save states billions of dollars and improve care quality, citing Connecticut’s experience. Alankrita encouraged listeners to contact their local PNHP chapters to get involved in this campaign, noting that similar efforts are underway in Minnesota and Hawaii: grassroots organizing efforts and voter turnout strategies.

Medicaid deprivatization and the need for single-payer Improved Medicare for All
Nuclear Plant Safety and Transition to Solartopia
The discussion focused on the dangers and vulnerabilities of nuclear power plants, particularly Diablo Canyon and Palisades, in the context of regulatory changes and industry practices. Harvey Wasserman and Roger Rappaport highlighted the potential for accidents and the lack of transparency due to the weakened Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) under the Trump regime. They emphasized the risks of radiation releases and the need for public monitoring, as well as the importance of transitioning to renewable energy sources.

Greep Zoom 248, Mon. Nov. 24, 2025, Greg Palast, Beyond No Kings, Charlotte/Portland Under Attack, Arnie Gundersen/Bob Freehling: Renewables Are the Future and more!
Poem By Mimi:
Food Lines, because they are not getting smaller
When why is not the answer, but when?
The lines are long.
For bread and compassion.
Colored in the scent of dying flowers and yesterday’s cigarettes.
Layered clothing, rags from the body, in customary fashion of a failed go of it.
The sideways downward cracks the dry stare on wet asphalt below the shimmer of holiday lights.
They’ll have to repair the streets again this year.
Who drives this truck? And how did these feathers once blue turn red in the stain of pain?
Today’s status is muted in the reflection of greasy water caught in the leaves of the gutter.
Mimi German

Full Show Audio below:
Trump’s “Ballroom” to be a Homeless Shelter/Soup Kitchen…Rural Democracy; CBS/Fox
We begin with the obvious question: Does Trump have dementia?
Of the past six presidents, 3.5 have been incompetent.
Our resident expert DR. NANCY NIPARKO concurs on Reagan, a bit on W but less so on Biden & moreso on Trump.
Co-host MYLA RESON challenges the idea that Trump’s murders in the Caribbean are rooted in dementia rather than corporate greed.

The World-Changing Transition from Fossil-Nukes to Solartopia is Happening Now
The #1 transition in human industrial history is taking us from fossil/nuclear fuels into solar, wind, geothermal and batteries.
This transition will define whether the human species can survive on this planet.
We start with RON LEONARD, a legendary pioneer in the solar industry that is transforming the world.
We take a hard look at the Trumpian attack on renewable/battery technologies, including the new-found US capacity to produce 59 gigawatts of solar capacity/year, capable of evening out carbon emissions for the past two years.
We review in particular the anti-wind assault that has devastated Ohio’s energy economy.
The Trump attack on renewables has likewise devastated America’s green industry as a whole. The attack has been escalated by Gavin Newsom.
Colorado activist JOHN STEINER wonders about capital for going solar, which is very much there.
Global nuclear expert TIM JUDSON gives us a critical appraisal of the terminal decline of an atomic industry that cannot compete with renewables. Judson says in the US 2.5 million kilowatts of renewables are being blocked off the grid by utility companies promoting a “nuclear renaissance” that’s absolutely not happening.
The wind and solar industries in Texas and Iowa are also beating nukes in cost by wide margins.
We’re then joined by the great KEVIN KAMPS with the inside story on the insane attempt to re-start Michigan’s Palisades reactor, where a worker actually fell into a pool of radioactive water. Kamps also reports on attempts to keep Lake Michigan from itself becoming a toxic pool.
Pole Dancing, parking pass thefts and more characterize the chaos at this uninsured reactor.

We’re also joined by KEVIN KAMPS’s report on a huge victory over an unwanted radioactive waste dump in New Mexico.
Election Protection pioneer JOHN BRAKEY tells us of his own HUGE victory over the suppression of public repression requests in New Mexico, meaning citizens can actually avoid being sued for the temerity of asking for public records.
PDA’s ROBERT CESARIO links us to a talk on the Rural New Deal.
National Security is the excuse for keeping secret all those energy devices for free energy, says TATANKA BRICCA.
MORE ON THAT NEXT WEEK!!!!
