From our episode Discussion on Taylor Swift

Conservatives clearly have it out for efforts to fix climate change and transitioning to green energy (think wind and solar).  Mike reads a few articles on the subject, then revisits a Sunflower Brew episode on environmental issues.  (This in response to Google recently and intentionally taking down the Blogspot post on this specific episode - and only this specific episode.)
