Mike Kuby teaches Geography at Arizona State University.  In this episode we discuss his research into transportation, energy and optimal locations for hydrogen and electric fueling stations as we build a new energy transportation infrastructure.  In a country where petroleum fueling stations are ubiquitous, where will should we place the first alternate fuel refueling stations?  Rather than just following the patterns of the existing infrastructure, Mike has used research into driver behavior to find the locations for battery and fuel cell stations that will build a network that can serve the most vehicles most effectively.

Tom Cech is an award winning conservationist and Director of the One World One Water Institute at Metropolitan State University in Denver.  He is a prolific author and teaches undergraduate and graduate level courses and creates water-oriented content and curricula for K-12 and lifelong learners.  In this episode we discuss water conservation and activism as well as glacial retreat, cyclical droughts in the west, desalination and the use of new technologies to deliver clean water to refugee camps.
