Your Heard Tell for Wednesday, August the 17th, 2022 is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern the time we live in by digging into GOP spending on senate races and seeing if the headlines about cash flow match the political realities on the ground as the midterm general election gets closer and closer. Election security remains a top issue for many, but in very different ways, so we turn to our friend Genya Coulter's latest writing about how chain-of-custody procedures for both ballots and the equipments necessary to run elections is so vital, and has been abused badly not only in 2020, but possibly in 2022 and beyond. Our guest today is Christopher Barnard who joins us to talk about the global energy crisis from Ukraine to the EU to right here in America. Christopher has been writing and discusses how the worldwide anti-nuclear and green movements paved the way for the current energy crisis, and how even some of the most environmentally conscious countries are taking a second look at nuclear power to solve the problem. Also, since Christopher grew up in Europe then moved to the US, and our host did the opposite, we talk about how the similarities and differences between the US and EU affect policy on a practical level that is sometimes overlooked. Plus we ask Christopher the most important question - with the almost always controversial answer - you can ever ask someone who lived in Belgium. Plus, India is celebrating it's 75 year of independence, and flooding in West Virginia has one BBQ restaurant owner playing the part of disaster relief hero. All that and more on this Wednesday edition of Heard Tell.
