Lithium Mining Ain't Green" feat. Kevin Emmerich

The ugly truth behind the in-demand element

Lithium mining is back in the news these days, with activists occupying the site of a proposed mine in northern Nevada. (See episode 53 for my interview with Will Falk, one of the occupiers.) So I contacted Kevin Emmerich of Basin & Range Watch, to get more details about how lithium mining works, and what its ecological effects are. Basin & Range Watch is a desert defense group based in southern Nevada. They track industrial energy developments on public lands in the US southwest, and I consider them to be the premier online resource for learning about and keeping up-to-date with these projects, which include solar and wind.

Kevin & I spoke on January 30th, and we discussed the proposed lithium mine at Thacker Pass; other projects at Clayton Valley and Rhyolite Ridge; the massive use of water in mining operations; the unique ecology of these sites in the desert and the Great Basin; the Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan and how it was assaulted by the Trump administration; the prospects for exploitation and conservation of the desert under the Biden administration; the false choice of fossil fuels vs. "green" energy; and the importance of efficiency in reducing overall energy use and pollution.

"Conservation in a Post-'Wilderness' World" feat. Leia Barnett

The idea of ecological "conservation" has always been in evolution, and today it is responding to the challenges of climate change, as well as being enriched by the addition of indigenous practices and knowledge. Legislation still lags behind, as it tends to, but the field is undeniably growing, which offers some encouragement for an uncertain future.

One of the people who is helping to broaden the work and the ethics of conservation is Leia Barnett. Leia is the Greater Gila Campaigner for WildEarth Guardians, an organization that seeks to protect and restore the wildlife, wild places, wild rivers, and health of the US American West. Born and raised in the foothills and arroyos of the Sangre de Cristo mountains in New Mexico, Leia is thrilled to bring her love and deep reverence for the high desert country of the Southwest to the Greater Gila campaign. Leia graduated summa cum laude from the University of New Mexico’s cultural anthropology program, where she focused on the ways the more-than-human world can be reimagined through anthropological theory and practice.

Leia and I spoke on January 18th, and we discussed Piñon pines, their ecological role, and how climate change is affecting them; the question of how the conservation movement should respond; public lands and their levels of protection and exploitation; the concept of "wilderness;" the necessity of the involvement of indigenous people and knowledge in conservation work; linguistic anthropology; the power and limitations of science; the question of how to encourage nature awareness to urban dwellers; the remarkable adaptability of plants; grazing permit retirements as a way of reducing ranching on public lands; and her visions for the future.

"No Going Back to Normal" feat. Kenn Orphan

Kenn Orphan is an artist, writer, radical nature lover, antiwar and anti-capitalist activist, sociologist, spiritualist and hospice social worker. He writes about art and culture, socio-economic injustice, geopolitical issues, philosophy, and the existential threats we collectively face from corporate capitalism, the war industry, climate change and an ever imperiled biosphere. His work focuses on the desperate need for a global paradigm shift that fosters compassion for and solidarity with the suffering of humanity and the countless other species with whom we share this precious planet.

I first discovered Kenn's writing through Counterpunch, and began following him on social media. We regularly end up thinking and writing about similar topics at the same time, and I often find myself adjusting my sails based on his voice and perspective.

In our conversation on Jan 25, 2021, we talked about whether things will "go back to normal" and, more importantly, should they; the environmental disaster of the Alberta tar sands and the resistance against them; the globalized indigenous resistance to industrial development; the importance of following indigenous leadership in protest movements; corporate media and media criticism; Julian Assange and the attack on whistleblowers; the suppression of speech on social media; sexual repression in US culture; Pete Buttigieg and "identity politics;" the end of the Trump era and the opening of Biden time; hope for young people; the dire ecological situation that threatens so much life on earth; the danger and privilege of nihilism; and everything that's worth fighting for.

"Wolves Under Fire" feat. Samantha Bruegger

Wolves are one of those animals who inhabit not only the material world, but mythological and cultural ones as well. Metaphorically, settler-colonial society warns of "the big bad wolf," "the wolves at the door," "wolves in sheep's clothing" and "lone wolves." In popular art, Duran Duran scored it big with "Hungry Like the Wolf," Leonardo DiCaprio starred in, "The Wolf of Wall Street." A little further back, Jack London wrote, "White Fang," and Sergei Prokofiev composed, "Peter & the Wolf." which is played in the intro of this episode.

First Nations in North America had much different traditions about Wolves, but it is European biases that led to their near extinction in what is now called the United States, and it is the policies of federal and state governments that now largely control the Wolf's future, which is the theme of this podcast.

Our guest is Samantha Bruegger, the Wildlife Coexistence Campaigner for WildEarth Guardians, an organization that seeks to protect and restore the wildlife, wild places, wild rivers, and health of the US American West. She has a Bachelor of Arts in Women’s Studies from the University of California Riverside and a Master of Public Policy from Pepperdine. Her past work experience includes local government & business relations, public affairs and environmental policy. Focusing much of her career highlighting the economic impact of conservation, she connects the need for wildlife management reform to research on ethics, efficacy and government expenditures.

Samantha and I talked on January 13th and we discussed the recent and tragic federal de-listing of Wolves; the devastating effects of the Trump administration on the environment; how livestock trade organizations are more extreme than many of their member ranchers in terms of Wolf recovery; the failure of the feds to hold bad actors accountable; how Wolves are killed by state and federal gov't agencies; the Animal Damage Control Act; compensation programs for livestock taken by Wolves; the successful Colorado referendum to reintroduce Wolves; Wolf policy at the state level; the danger of agricultural and residential rodenticides for wildlife; the Great Lakes Wolves; prairie ecosystems; the nomination of Native American Deb Haaland for Interior Secretary; non-lethal coexistence with Wolves in residential and agricultural contexts; and the work of WildEarth Guardians.

Ep. 53: Breaking News: Activists Occupy Site of Proposed Mine in Nevada, feat. Will Falk

In this special breaking news episode, I talk to Will Falk, who is at an occupation of public land in Nevada in order to stop a proposed lithium mine. The encampment was just announced on Monday, Jan. 18th, and I spoke with him by phone that day. The long and the short of the story is that the Bureau of Land Management just gave the green light to a company called Lithium Americas to establish a massive operation in Thacker Pass. The company has already built roads, drilled boreholes, constructed a weather station, and dug a 2-acre test pit. They plan to build large tailing ponds for toxic minewaste, drill new wells, build a sulfuric acid processing plant, import more than 170 semi-loads of sulfur per day, pump 850 million gallons of water annually, and dig an open pit of more than 2 square miles into the mountainside. Additionally, the project will burn some 26,000 gallons of diesel fuel per day. At risk from this habitat-destroying industrial activity are a number of animal and plant species including the threatened Greater Sage Grouse, the Lahontan Cutthroat Trout, a critically imperiled endemic snail species known as the Kings River Pyrg, old growth Big Sagebrush and Crosby’s Buckwheat, to name just a few. The stakes are high for all the creatures who live in and around Thacker Pass, and that's why the activists have set up there.

Will Falk is a biophilic essayist, poet, and lawyer. He believes the intensifying destruction of the natural world is the most pressing issue confronting us today and he aims his writing at stopping this destruction. His work has been published by Earth Island Journal, the Dark Mountain Project, CounterPunch, Whole Terrain, and the San Diego Free Press, among others. He is also the author of the book, “How Dams Fall.” His most recent endeavor was a multimedia project called, "The Ohio River Speaks."

Will and I talked about the geology of the area and its ancient natural history; the current landscape, including the observable effects of ranching; the details of what Lithium Americas plans to do in the area; the effects of human over-consumption on wildlife habitat; the sixth great extinction; how government policy instituted car culture; how dwindling resources will lead to social crisis; the fast-tracking of this project by the Trump administration; the bipartisan consensus on using public lands for industrial energy development; the endangerment of First Foods, a vital cultural resource; and what the campaign needs and how to follow and support them.

Ep. 52: "Everything Has to Change" feat. brenna bell

BARK and bite in defense of trees

brenna bell is the policy Coordinator & Staff Attorney at BARK, a grassroots environmental organization based in Portland, Oregon. BARK's mission is to transform Mt. Hood National Forest into a place where natural processes prevail, where wildlife thrives and where local communities have a social, cultural, and economic investment in its restoration and preservation.

brenna brings to her work a lifetime of passion for the Pacific Northwest, twenty years of organizing experience, and an extensive background in environmental law and education. Her involvement with Cascadia Forest Alliance and the campaign to save Eagle Creek led her to Lewis & Clark Law School, where she graduated cum laude. brenna has worked with numerous non-profits and is a co-founder of Tryon Life Community Farm - a community sustainability education center. She also lives, and is raising her two children and many goats, in Cedar Moon - the intentional community at TLC Farm.

brenna and I have known each other since the early 2000s when we met in Portland's forest defense community. I've been an admirer of her work and of BARK's efforts the whole time, so it was a real pleasure to talk to her on January 14th. We discussed her calling to legal work; her early years of forest activism; BARK's mission; the history of public land, starting with its theft from Native Americans; how public land is managed for resources extraction rather than preserved or restored for ecology; how national forests are required to meet annual timber targets; state co-management of federal lands; the damage to environmental protections during the Trump years, including from the "sue and settle" method; fire ecology; how climate change extends the fires season; how fire science is ignored by the timber industry and the Forest Service; how the media covers fire; viewing big wildfires as unstoppable weather events; climate change and the role of forests in sequestering carbon; the incoming Biden administration; climate justice; the mythology around the concept of "unpeopled wilderness"; the importance of looking to indigenous leadership for conservation and restoration; being inspired by today's youth; and the need for generational work.

Ep. 51: "Spark of Fury" feat. Tim Hermach

A veteran forest defender speaks

Tim Hermach is the founder and director of the Native Forest Council, based in Eugene, Oregon. Tim has been a forest defender since the late 1980s and at this point has ripened into a proper curmudgeon.

We talked on January 9th, 2021, and our conversation covered his early days in the Sierra Club; Biden's dismal record; Clinton's betrayal of the forests; "Gang Green"—the big non-profit environmental organizations based in DC; the corrupting influence of money; the decline of the environment and of environmental regulations over the last forty years; Kollibri's early experiences with forest activism in Portland; hardcore tactics and the Earth Liberation Front; how industry has veto power over the content of school textbooks; the decline of media coverage of environmental issues; and the need to fight and fight hard.

"The Future is Relational" feat. Kitsuné Rêver

Kitsuné Rêver is a resident of Alberta, Canada, where she is a nurse and a gardener among other things. This was her third appearance on the podcast and it was simply delightful to welcome her back to the show. In our wide-ranging conversation, we covered a lot of topics including a political scandal in Alberta where local office holders traveled in spite of COVID lockdown; pandemic fatigue; the difference between responding and reacting; the effects of social media on brain function & communication; the end of "normal"; consumption & consumerism; the possibility of famine; the population debate; Kitsuné's family heritage in Canada as an example of how lifestyles have changed; the human "longing for belonging"; how advertising manipulates our beliefs and choices; the poison of mainstream news media; the poor quality of information on the internet; and the importance of following indigenous leadership.

We recorded this six days after the Capitol Hill riot on Jan. 6th, and we refer to it several times before talking about it near the end.

Ep. 49: "Putting the Heart Back in the Valley by Putting the Fire Back in the Ground" feat. Bobby Fossek

A place-based, indigenous approach to ecological restoration in eastern Oregon

Cove, Oregon, is a tiny town in the eastern part of the state that most Oregonians haven’t heard of. Surrounded by fields of conventional monocrops in the heart of conservative ranching country, it seems an unlikely place for leading edge cultural transformation, and yet it is, thanks to what might strike some as an unlikely partnership between Native Americans and the Episcopal Church.

I first visited Cove, and met Bobby Fossek and his family, in the summer of 2017. I was traveling through the area with a friend on a foraging and wildtending mission that also took us to Hell’s Canyon. Bobby’s place was our base camp for a few days of picking and processing cherries from nearby trees, and we cooperated together in setting up drying racks and running their steam juicer.

Bobby is a Walla Walla and Yakima descendant from the Umatilla Reservation. In his youth, he picked up some traditional knowledge from his father, but it wasn’t until later in life that he committed more fully to learning and practicing the skills of his ancestors. Perhaps ironically, the Episcopal Diocese of Eastern Oregon provided the particular means to do so that he is now pursuing.

The Diocese is based in Cove, and has been running the Ascension School Camp there for decades. Bobby attended the camp regularly during his childhood because his father married an Episcopalian woman. As an adult, he visited the place again, and heard that the Diocese wanted to “right some wrongs” with the indigenous people whose land they were occupying. He inquired and they ended up inviting him to be part of that effort.

The background on this invitation is that, at its General Convention in 2009, the Episcopal Church passed resolution repudiating the Doctrine of Discovery and calling on congregations to support efforts by indigenous people seeking respect for “their inherent sovereignty and fundamental human rights.” Here's to hoping that other Christian denominations will also take up this banner to make up for past behavior.

The Diocese now provides Bobby with a salary and housing, as well as making the camp's facilities available for events that he helps organize. It's an inspiring story of real cooperation and a sincere attempt to make reparation.

Bobby and I conversed on December 30th, 2020, We talked about the ecological restoration he's doing at the camp and in the area, and how it encompasses more than the typical restoration projects sponsored by universities, governments or non-profits. Going deeper than science, Bobby's work is rooted in the traditional knowledge of his ancestors, and includes cultural values and language as essential elements. As he summed it up: "You can't restore the landscape without restoring the indigenous presence."

Ep. 48: "2020: The Year in Review" feat. Kristine Mattis

Kristine Mattis returns to the show as a co-host of this special year-end episode.

Kristine has PhD in Environmental Studies. As an interdisciplinary environmental scholar with a background in biology, earth system science, and policy, her research focused on environmental risk information and science communication. Before returning to graduate school, Kristine worked as a medical researcher, as a science reporter for the U.S. Congressional Record, and as a science and health teacher. She is no relation to the mad-dog general.

We hit a lot of subjects in our wide-ranging discussion, including where we spent the year; the question of whether 2020 was "the worst year ever"; the George Floyd uprising; the blindspots and biases of the mainstream media; censorship on social media; the presidential election; the lack of effective anti-war and pro-environmental movements in the US; the need for big picture thinking in the environmental movement; a nuanced look at the various opinions about COVID and vaccines; the provincialism of US culture; the ecological unsustainabiliy of the internet's infrastructure; and the delusional hope that a change in the calendar date will make a positive difference all by itself.
