Resilience expert Dr. Nate Hagens talks about his college course &#8220;Reality 101&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Then we visit with two top American scientists whose recent study was published by the government-funded National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. A detailed study of sun and wind says yes we can replace fossil and nuclear power with renewable energy, and it won&#8217;t cost any more than what we are doing now.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for joining us this week as we explore where we really are, and what we could do about it.<\/p>\n<p><b>Download or listen to this Radio Ecoshock show<\/b>\u00a0in\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ecoshock.net\/downloads\/ES_160210_Show.mp3\">CD Quality<\/a>\u00a0(56 MB) or\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ecoshock.net\/downloads\/ES_160210_LoFi.mp3\">Lo-Fi<\/a>(14 MB)<\/p>\n<p>Or listen on Soundcloud right now!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/246414424&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false&amp;visual=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><b>NATE HAGENS: REALITY 101<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know about you, but I&#8217;m often stuck on Bob Dylan&#8217;s words: &#8220;something is happening here, but you don&#8217;t know what it is&#8221;.

Hagens teaches &#8220;<b>Reality 101 &#8211; A Survey of the Human Predicament<\/b>&#8221; to graduate students at the University of Minnesota. Nate Hagens is a familiar name to anyone who tracks energy and resilience. Nate was a successful Wall Street trader. He left all that in 2003 to probe deeper. Nate is on the Board of Directors of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ecoshock.info\/2016\/02\/the%20Post%20Carbon%20Institute\">the Post Carbon Institute<\/a>, a Director of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/earthtrust.org\/bottleneckfoundation\/\">the Bottleneck Foundation<\/a>, and he teaches. He&#8217;s working on a book that he doesn&#8217;t want to talk about yet.
