The Martinz ELEVATED Review

In this episode we continue our investigative series into the state of the Salmonid resource in British Columbia, with our focus on the majestic Steelhead in the Skeena watershed. Our guest today is Bob Hooton whose career in British Columbia’s fisheries management spanned 37 years, with the final 9 years of service spent at the head of the Fish and Wildlife Section for all of BC.  Bob is an outspoken advocate of wild Steelhead conservation and has written several books on the subject.  Today we also explore the inequitable racially based allocations of our fisheries, and make a case for the baseless origins of these ongoing decisions. Make no mistake listeners, this is an Apartheid policy which harms all Canadians, and ultimately the fish. The time is now to manage the fishery for the sole benefit of the fish, not special interest groups.

In today’s episode we continue our investigation of BC’s salmon populations, this time focused on the Skeena River watershed. Our guest for this episode is the Science Director at SkeenaWild, Mr. Michael Price, MSc. Mr. Price is a PhD candidate with the Earth to Ocean Research Group and member of the Reynolds Lab at Simon Fraser University.  Mr. Price earned his MSc studying juvenile salmon ecology & interactions with sea lice at the University of Victoria.  In this interview we examine historic baseline sockeye and chum salmon population numbers and investigate the reasons for their precipitous decline. We examine what steps need to be taken immediately to ensure the survival of these salmon, and that future generations of humans can witness the majesty and splendour of healthy wild salmon.

In today's episode listeners will be treated to an interesting philosophical discussion.  We explore concepts regarding the greater human organism and how it interacts with our energy infrastructure, large corporations, and how the continuum covering Maximum Human Potential to Maximum Human Regret should be applied to all decision making.  A  review of AC and DC electricity is also presented in conjunction with their use to optimize electrical consumption across the grid.  We also explore electrical distribution, storage, and phasing, and load sourcing and shifting and caching options.  Enjoy!

In today’s episode we continue our investigative series into British Columbia’s energy policies, environmental sustainability, emission levels, Site C Dam, and LNG exports. Our guest today is Dr. Eoin Finn who holds a B.Sc. and Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry, an MBA in International Business, and retired as a Partner at the major Accounting/Consulting firm KPMG. This episode provides digs deep into alternative energy technologies, the Site C dam, proposed LNG exports in British Columbia, and the inter-related relationships between these controversial subjects.  Potential solutions are presented to create meaningful economic opportunities and avoid environmental and fiscal bankruptcy.

Today we continue our investigative series into British Columbia’s energy policies, sustainability, emissions, and LNG exports.  Our guest today is David Hughes, a geoscientist who has studied the energy resources of Canada for nearly four decades.  In this episode we examine why the proposed LNG export business is neither economically viable, nor environmentally sound.  We explore what steps BC, Canada, and the world need to take immediately to avoid a catastrophic end to our civilization.

Attention listeners - interested or concerned about climate change?  This is a monumental episode that you must hear!  Today's episode features Dr Valentina Zharkova who has a PhD in Astrophysics and through her research has quantified and modelled the Sun's energetic output.  This research has generated a highly accurate predictive summary curve which describes solar activity.  When this curve is combined with the Sun-Earth Ephemeris data, a clear picture of global cooling emerges.  Between the years 2030-2050 will be the maximum cooling point of the Moderen Grand Solar Minimum and we could experience up to a 70% decrease in solar activity.  The ramifications of this scenario are dramatic and the World needs to start planning immediately or face deleterious repercussions.  Time to reject the nonsense and dogma of the IPCC and accept CO2 for what it is, plant food!

In this alarming episode Dr. Alexandra Morton provides us with a clear warning of the imminent extinction of our beloved pacific salmon if immediate action is not taken to remove open-pen fish farms from our coastal water ways.  Dr. Morton has dedicated her life to the research and understanding of our complex and interconnected coastal ecosystems.  She has clearly documented the serious deleterious effects of the fish farms, in particular the devastating effects that sea lice have on out-migrating juvenile salmon.  I encourage everyone to support her research and voice in protecting this precious resource.  Please take a moment to visit her sites and make a donation:

And whatever you do - do not purchase farmed salmon ever!  They are toxic to consume, and toxic for our salmon and waterways,

In this episode we begin the examination of the Site C Dam project and its myriad of negative impacts, both environmental and economic.  We cover some of the specific impacts and discuss sustainable alternatives and postulate on potential solutions.  The ramifications of this project and the manner in which it has been forced into existence should alarm any sound minded individual on the planet.  The time for change is now, we can no longer accept outdated practices and policies which benefit the few at the expense of many.  Thank you for listenting and ENJOY!

This episode delves into emerging battery technologies known as Lithium Titanate and their application in a variety of transportation applications.  We also discuss the Ettridge electrical motor and its implication as both a motor and generator.  Additional discussions focus around micro grid power generation, and James' thoughts on self mastery and healing the planet.  Thank you for listenting and ENJOY!

Greetings Listeners!  This podcast is a long time in coming.  I have decided to pursue a hard-hitting analysis and commentary on British Columbia's mis-management of its resource sector.  There are numerous prescient topics to cover with the underlying theme revolving around modernizing our approach towards energy and particularly fisheries management.  This new podcast will focus on young professionals that are questioning the 1950s status quo management tactics and and endless government sponsored propaganda. I will focus on looking for modern solutions towards energy and resource management.
