Description
Bet you thought this episode was about pizza. Nope.
We welcome back Geophysicist, Dr. Jeffrey Zurek, to discuss a couple of issues on my mind. Both have very real geopolitical aspects. But we still tried to have fun.
Currently, the United States is engaging in a policy that can be described as "Fortress America". Basically, an economic plan of isolationalism. Part of this is "drill baby, drill". However, we can't drill our way into eliminating petroleum imports. Why? Geology and chemistry.
The other item is what is a continent? Turns out there is international law on the subject. Nonetheless, there are activities and convenient geology and even archeogeology which could upend these accepted principles.
Tune in and learn and enjoy. I know I did both.
