The Power Hour is a weekly podcast that discusses the day’s most interesting energy and environmental  policy issues with top national experts.  The Power Hour expands its horizon with this discussion.  Jack talks with Terri Hall of Texans Uniting for Reform and Freedom (TURF) about how our freedom to drive where we want, when we want is being threatened.  Terri is an activist who got sick and tired of seeing her highway dollars being wasted and decided to do something about it so she started organizing people to bring integrity back to the system. Before she knew it, she was running an organization whose mission was to do exactly that.  While Terri’s work focuses on Texas, you will quickly learn that what she does impacts us all.  Jack and Terri cover a lot of ground, discussing everything from highway spending to what regulators are trying to do track us in our automobiles.  

You can learn more about Terri’s great organization, Texas TURF, here.

The Power Hour is a weekly podcast that discusses the day’s most interesting energy and environmental  policy issues with top national experts.  This week Jack invites Jackie Siebens of Helion, one of the nation’s leading fusion energy companies, to the Power Hour for a fascinating conversation about this exciting technology.  They discuss how the technology works, how close it is to deployment, why fusion could be the key to solving a lot of energy issues, and does it make economic sense.  But most important, Jackie puts to bed the age-old question of whether fusion is just a few decades away.  Not give away the plot, but she makes a compelling argument for fusion being much closer than we think.  

You can learn more about Helion here and more about the fusion industry at the Fusion Industry Association here.

The Power Hour is a weekly podcast that discusses the day’s most interesting energy and environmental  policy issues with top national experts.  Join Jack today for a wide-ranging and topical discussion with Heritage Foundation Executive Vice President, Derrick Morgan.   Jack invited Derrick on to the Power Hour to discuss a recent article he wrote in the Wall Street Journal on the ethanol mandate and why it is time to end the Renewable Fuel Standard.  But given Derrick’s deep expertise in gas and oil policy, Jack couldn’t help to use the opportunity to dive into what’s happening in Iran and the impact of oil markets.   Informed by years of working in all branches of government and in the private sector, and ground by principle, Derrick brings a unique perspective on all these issues.      

You can read Derrick’s recent article here and the rest of his great work here.
