They have concerns right now about the president launching what some are calling a trade war with China But then this eclipsed it news that his lead attorney Was quitting leaving and we don't know exactly why John doubt is doing that He might have been just sort of the odd man out here But he's out and a lot of people read into that continue to read into that all sorts of awful things Whether that is necessarily the case or not Wall Street sells first Maybe starts analyzing or reassessing things later right now We're in the selling phase the Dow looking at its worst performance so far since February 8th down about 477 points right now We've got Dow Jones news wires chief editor Glenn Hall Fox businesses Charlie Gasparino and market watcher Melissa Armo Melissa as we look at this now. We're also going to be waiting to hear From the budget director is going to spell out this spending battle Which is another issue because that we might be looking at a shutdown late tomorrow night But all this came together fast, didn't it? Yeah, it's kind of the perfect storm But I really think it started in Monday Monday actually and I'm going to preface this by saying long-term a very bullish in the market But Monday was the most bearish day in 2018 for me when I look at it technically because I look at technicals and here's why because we opened we gap down We open and we sold off all day. It was just straight selling down and even that day that we had that big Let's focus on today. Yeah, you make it today. We're going to continue to sell off We're going to continue to sell off and again any sort of rumor nastiness anything just they bounce they sell We don't even need a reason the market selling off. We're not near the highs. We're coming in but again overall We're strong, but today we're going to sell off. So if you're in the market long term I don't think there's a reason to panic But if you're a year away from retirement, then maybe you should take some profit a common theme here seems to be anything That looks like the president could be in trouble even if it's way over done the markets take ahead We've been talking about this for a while. I mean usually You know at first the muller probe was not existential to the market and now it is and at least there's an algorithm That's plugged into anything muller related including John Dowd. We should point out that John down this lawyers resignation the Vicks went nuts when we're not shooting up 20 right I mean that's been happening a lot with Mueller stuff and we've been reporting that out now Why is that happening? I think the market is is sensing this is the market So I'm not saying Donald Trump is guilty the market is sensing that there is something more here And that this is not just a nothing burger. This is not You know deep state. This is that that that that Mueller has has him on something I will say one other thing though The trade stuff is another thing that's existential to this market and just look at it this way if you're a long-term investor and listen I like the fact that he's cutting taxes, but think about what they're doing They are they're engaging in protectionism. They we are we were probably going to get higher budget deficits You know because the first year of the tax cut does not produce the revenue that and so you get higher interest rates You get all that together and you got some instability in the White House and that's not much to push in other words Glenn now Dowd was the the lead personal attorney for the president. He was at locker heads with some of the other lawyers So maybe this is not worthy of even a fox alert here But but it does raise to charlis points concerns. What else don't we know, right? Yeah, there were tensions there about whether or not the president should or shouldn't give an interview with Robert Mueller And Dowd was on the other side of that thinking he shouldn't So you see that supported by a lot of other lawyers including our own degenerative Politano was it's never good for a president to do that and set himself up for something Especially one talks. Yeah, and the Trump administration also is is bolstering the legal team on his defense side So that gives reason to believe that they're preparing for a bigger fight So that could be also different a different fight. We should point out this weekend was not a very good weekend for John Dowd I know John a little bit covered him when it as a white collar attorney very famous for giving the press the finger Remember that whole thing during the Raj Raj Rotem trial he he was he was he was represented Raj on the insider training charges And lost the case John Dowd is a fighter. Okay. He's a courtroom fighter Okay, where this is interesting is that they have now hired Joe DeGenova another lawyer I know who is not necessarily a courtroom fighter, but he's a media fighter He will go on air and he will fight like hell and he will be and he's very very persuasive My guess is that the Trump Trump and his and whoever's around them advising him and it's I don't exactly know who it is They're saying that this Mueller thing has taken a turn and this is one thing you could surmise We're gonna need to go public with this and you know, here's one thing I should tell you Impeachment is not necessarily legal impeachment is political I know that I know that but think about what he's thinking if you're game-planning as a lawyer We're gonna have to sway public opinion. We get rid of a guy That's not necessarily good on TV and we bring in a really good guy on TV Joe DeGenova That's you can how much of this market's fate Melissa is built on the president and him being politically stable Well, I would since we ran up since he got elected obviously the market is like Trump But I think overall people don't like this It's just not good. I mean, it's not a good feeling He is that they don't need it's an uncertain it sell now and worry about it later because you can always buy back in So I think the market is just reacting so anything that looks and we've seen this before right? I mean we see a development the day that looks only Mueller's going after him or the Russians that there were C's Who might have been you know willing perpetrators on this market sells well Then you find out no American entity was was taken in the markets come back We've seen this again and again and again That's right. There's a lot of sort of volatility back in the markets and we were bouncing off those highs So there was some you know hesitation there But what you're seeing I think is exactly the the reflection of will this president be able to continue to champion the kind of Changes that have made the market happy so far or will the rubber meet the road? I mean listen one thing to erase this if we had a GDP print today of 3.2% anything above three this market would reverse and I think that the market is just pricing in the fears That I think you know the economy is not going to respond to the tax cuts as much We might get higher deficits higher interest rates a trade war But if the thing that cures that always for markets is better corporate earnings and better economic growth And if we get those two then this is a We're still bullish a market still an uptrend we could sell up all day today. We could sell up all week We could sell up all month. I mean the day after the year though. I know but we've been up Going very jaded There's a lot of different things going on all at once you can seize on a lot of concerns here Yeah, you've got the trade war thing that could escalate the fact that the president now has extended this intellectual property That's that's a weird one and the tech sector is the one that has been driving the bus Right, absolutely, and then it is the tech sector right now That seems to be just in and out of correction territory once again here So they're feeding on not only Facebook, but virtually everyone that's going along Amazon when last I thought that was down to almost 40 bucks It's had a great run Things can't go up in a straight line forever. I mean be realistic. Let me let me write that. Yeah You know the market is cut Amazon the biggest break in the world they say we don't care about your earnings Which aren't so great as you know But you know because your Amazon and everybody's going to you and you have all these great management and you have a great Product we cut you a break and you could trade a gazillion times earnings Okay, if we engage in a trade war that affects tech Yeah, it doesn't take much for that for that mentality among analysts and investors to turn and I'm just saying that China is a problem though. China is a problem. They've been stealing all of the instance intellectual property I'm telling you that short term the market may not like it but long term It's better for the country Do you think Amazon keeps going straight line up if we're going to get into this this match this this But so what I mean, it's still strong. So after two years Again right now we're in and out of such a loss here that I've done about four to 50 points NASDAQ 100 a good proxy for technology That's getting really clobbered today down better than 8% again The fears seem to be that all this is coming together at the worst of time So what a lot of people are selling now and asking questions later I do not and I hope I did not at the outset of the show read way too much into the John Dowd resignation Outside of saying he is a big deal. He is the president's lead personal attorney and he was Again as our guest appointed out here Very instrumental in trying to urge the president don't talk to this guy There's no upside to talking to this guy others have been back and forth within the president's legal team I'm told to at least find the parameters or which they would sit down talk to him I think even taking written questions, right? There's a lot of different ways. They could frame that and to sort of constrain the amount of the inquiry Sometimes it's like if you quit in a hop, it's one thing versus they called it a mutual agreement Oh, I mean remember this weekend was not like a great weekend for him And you know, he's really I mean, you know, he was he showed a degree of instability By basically saying the president approved it. No, he didn't yes. He did now. I know he's working for a guy That's volatile, but still, you know, he is theoretically the lead the lead attorney, but you know, I tell you there's What was really interesting about it in December I reported that Trump was telling people that he thinks the thing the model pro would be over very soon And I remember what I told what I reported I reported on Stu's show first And because you do his show because he asked me and I was ordered to do it But it's hard, but I know he's only just recently American citizen. I find that a little bit. Yeah, that's fine But you know, so I said still there's one thing we have to keep in mind and when Trump said this to people He said it to us a source of mind the source came back and said Donald be careful here because Muller will you know He may you may not be finding direct collusion But he's looking at your private business interests as well and that's where this we know whether dad was concerned The president was starting to tweet Muller by name because that that got a lot of Republican that yeah that who knows I mean, I think that dad would probably any lawyer in the in there when you were that as an investor And you and regardless of your opinion on that where this case is going That's another level of you know in your face when you start mentioning the guys investigating of his name I know but this is what got Trump. I know that I understand that but for from your perspective Did it change the game and make you think or and I'm in for more volatility here Definitely we started the year with a bang with volatility and we're it's going to continue I don't think it stops anytime soon as long as this investigation You know what traders told me I spoke to a lot of traders I said, what do you make of that because you know listen politics is the markets right now? It's in they said he sounds guilty. I'm just telling you when you start like But when you if he had nothing listen, it's a logical inference I'm not saying he is but if you're like not worrying about it Why are you tweeting in the middle of the night on this because he likes to tweet? Or he's really This is coming at the same time some Republicans are getting antsy about their Prospects for November and holding on to the House or the Senate. Um, it's looking increasingly iffy for the house And then along come this this heated and back and forth with the FBI the Justice Department Muller Then you get a trade war going which goes against it Not you know the DNA of a lot of Republicans many of whom have said, you know You're going to far Kevin Brady houseways and means chief and the architect of these tax cuts had said that a trade war risks Wiping out any of the tax cut gains. So they're getting nervous his own party is getting Well, there's some reason to be nervous in a sense Especially if you look at many of the Midwestern agricultural states They could be hit by a backlash from China and those were states that Trump carried in mostly so there's there's a little bit Do you think China then goes after though? I think soybeans That's that's what the Wall Street journalist hearing is that you know the China retaliation will be go back after soy beans I believe everything that they write come on The editor will respond in time if you're gonna slap us with penalties, we're not gonna waste too much time stop And it's not even that it's all it's that plus the fact that there are industrial states that that rely on on cheaper Raw materials like aluminum and steel you and I talked to him for many decades, right? Right Donald Trump I'm saying and and one of the things he has always said is China's a paper tiger. We're more afraid of them women. He should be They need us a lot more than we know that's weird and that it was always been as you do It's just why he is so that's right with this and he's putting it in the context of jobs. China's taking jobs Okay, that message work, but let's let's do balance sheet analysis here You raise tariffs on steel that may save some jobs in the steel manufacturer in the steel sector It could hurt jobs in in other To go Different thing they're targeting intellectual property. They're targeting To a level that we haven't seen in Investigation on it. There's real evidence that it's happening I think the really positive thing that's happening with this is that we are asserting that we're a world power The United States once again China's been doing this for so long. We're not worried about any of this other stuff Are you know you're just gonna make my hand over fists Well the technology transfer that companies are forced to do in China has been a big issue globally The only real challenge right now is that the US is going it alone. Let's say this is let's just be real clear Who's going the shots on this in the misery? It's not Larry Kudlow who just went there. It's not It's not Mnuchin. It's Peter Navarro and He's the guy if you we just need to read up on Peter Navarro to know where and to some extent Wilbur Ross to know And Peter Navarro is a long-time economist. Well, he's big on he's written books on this This is he thinks we are at economic war With China and he's convinced the president we are and we should take these Is it look playing nice and trying not to go tit for tat has gotten us in the problem Yes, he believes I think you have to factor in that the president also has been making good on every campaign promise He delivered he's out there every day trying to make sure that everybody remembers I'm doing what I said I would never trade being being this sort of trade thing that he's involved in with this these tariffs He's using it more as a blunt instrument than as a then then that's everything a threat I think you get out of control then you have to go ahead and do what you say He's creating a bargaining position perhaps though. Listen, I hope you're right this spending measure Let's say tomorrow night guys and we're gonna take a quick break here because we have to pay our bills Even though the nation apparently can't pay its do you get a sense Glenn that a Deal like this isn't worth from the people you talk to because a lot of Republicans are saying this a deal like this driving us deeper into debt And showing no fiscal austerity Is not worth it It's it's even worth a government shutdown There are a number of Republicans who are feeling that way right now And they've said so publicly that you know look and you saw the president's tweet as well about you know The giveaway for the Dems was the price to get the other things that you wanted the money for he supports it so far Yeah, that's right. So there's there's a tension in in all of that have to pass this day Shut the government down again. I don't think so. That's none of my and they won the last one against Chuck Schumer I don't know if they want to go that way. Yeah, I mean that one vote in the Senate that is the real I think for investors. I don't think the budget is a big thing I think it's we're walking into normalization a possible trade war higher deficits That's the negative the positive is the tax cuts and the less regulation Which wins out the only way you know is to corporate earnings and GDP and if the if those are good Well, then you buy and the Fed just raised its outlook so they're showing some positive Yes, yes, the very thing that concerns them higher interest rates is built on an improving economy The one thing that's important though Remember banks make more money when rates are higher people bring more deposits and they can lend more show I haven't seen that transfer effect yet. Not yet No, but I'm saying you're gonna you're not gonna have a weak market and strong banks You're gonna have when you have strong banks, you're gonna have a strong market So the banks are gonna get stronger with the rates on the rise. It's gonna help the market Which trade with protection is you like the president you like the policies you think he's safe the market roar will continue Everybody calm down. I don't know if Trump is safe or not, but I think American people are tired of this whole Mueller thing. I think it's been going on long enough They haven't found anything, you know, we're waiting to see if they found they found that Is it All right, we are waiting a couple of things we're gonna be hearing and we're a monitor of the budget director Well, then he's gonna go over the details of that 1.3 trillion dollar spending plan I think he gets us through the end of the fiscal year, right that six-month deal to sort of keep keep the government lights on here But not everyone is in love with that hill detail Why the administration is supporting it even though they they're doing so holding their nose We're also going to get more details again on what the president can outline in better than 50 some say as high $60,000 in tariffs against China. We have never taken such a sweeping move against a single country keep in mind We have been running a three hundred seventy five billion dollar deficit trade deficit against the Chinese So this would just represent a fraction of that But nevertheless it would be an opening salvo that even the French leader Macron had said that would be a mistake. I don't wait. What is French for mistake? Then this then the stake all right. We have a lot more coming up.

I'd like to welcome to the stage Jessica Lowchak from the ANU College of Science and the title of her presentation tonight is Mud and Molten Cocktails. Down it goes, deep into the earth, one billion tons of mud is lost from the surface of the earth each year. So what does one billion tons of mud look like? Well, imagine a glass of champagne, now forget the champagne, fill the glass with mud. Now do this to a row of champagne glasses, stretching from my hand to the sun. This is how much mud is lost each year, mud. Who cares, right? This much mud is lost each year, why do the continents still exist? This is where my research comes in. I want to know what happens to the mud deep below. Is it lost forever or does it come back up to the surface somehow? When two tectonic plates collide, mud is pushed deep into the mantle, 100 kilometers beneath our feet. The pressures and temperatures in the mantle are so immense that the mud is squished and melted to form a cocktail of molten rock. This molten cocktail, rich in elements, has a base of silica with a dash of alumina and a spritz of strontium, rubidium and thorium. How do I know this? I'm a purveyor of fine cocktails. I melt mud under these extreme conditions in the comfort of a lab, of course. I do this by putting mud into tiny little capsules. I then place this into an apparatus. So what do my results show? When this molten cocktail is pushed deep down below, it moves up through the mantle, driven by buoyancy, much like bubbles in a glass of champagne, except on a much slower timescale. Some of the cocktail is absorbed by the mantle to make new crystals. However, some of the cocktail survives and pushes its way up to the surface of the earth where, boom, it erupts in a volcano. I'm studying a particular part of this process called mantle metasemitism. Over thousands of years, erupted rock will be turned back into mud and washed into the oceans of tomorrow so that the cycle can begin again. But more importantly, the mud that was once lost is returned back to the surface so that the cocktail party, much like the recycling of our continents, never ends.


What we designed the house to be was really energy efficient, first of all by lowering the energy consumption. What we wanted to do was minimize the energy that the house needed to run before putting solar panels on the roof to generate that energy. Our house incorporated passive design features. So what you see right here is actually our house is facing south. We have 73% of our windows also facing south. We have clear story windows above and windows facing down below. So when they're both open you get this natural ventilation in our house. Appliances are energy star rated. Our toilets are washer and dryer. Our low flow system. We took a concept from the typical batch in New Zealand which is a typical holiday home. And they are traditionally not very efficient houses so we wanted to increase the efficiency of this. And the lighting would have been incandescent lighting. So at best it would have been 240 watts of energy but a poorly lit house. We wanted to come in under 240 watts but have a really generous, enjoyable lighting scheme. So with LEDs we were able to achieve that. We've got 35 lights through the house and in the landscape and we're only consuming 186 watts. Phase change solar thermal storage where we take 57 gallons of paraffin wax. Instead of a hot water heater we store all of our heat in this paraffin wax and it can hold the equivalent heat energy of about 150 gallons of water. So it's extremely energy dense and one full day of sun can provide about two days of hot water draws for our homes. We have the liquid desiccant waterfall which removes the latent load. It removes the humidity. When you do that it makes it a whole lot easier for your HVAC system to cool the house. Therefore saving electricity. This stuff is great and it's called dense pack. We actually blow it in with a fan through holes into each cavity and it packs it really tightly so there's no gaps for air to circulate and energy to loop be lost that way. It's also the best kind of insulation because it's almost 100% recycled newspaper. So it's totally a very low energy process to make. It's really good for the workers that make it. Triple-pane, argon-filled, R5, U.2, windows and doors throughout the house and try to incorporate a few passive features such as a reinterpreted trom wall full of phase change material. So during the day this trom wall collects light, absorbs heat energy and at night when temperatures cool down it will release the energy within the house. So we have eaves on our house or overhangs. And the purpose of these is that during the summer we actually shade our house from the direct sunlight but then during the winter we get that direct sunlight coming in and we get that additional heat. It was through any phone, tablet, device or computer we can monitor how much power we're making, how much power we're using and then how much power we're sending back to the grid. I can also see how much power each circuit in our home is using and this makes the homeowner aware of where the power is going in their house. The other things you can do with this system is send email or text-based alerts so if you leave your stove on it can send you a text message saying go turn your solar. Watershed utilizes a lot of solar. We do it in three different ways. We have solar panels on the roof which convert sunlight into electricity. We have solar thermal which converts sunlight into heat and we also have plants which is something that people don't normally think about but that helps filter all the water that we have and that we use in the house and that falls on site. One of the first things that people notice when they come up to our project is our bifacial solar canopy and we actually have 42 195 watt panels that combine to form an 8.2 kilowatt array. And what's special about these panels is that they collect light not only from the top but also from below. Chesapeake Bay Watershed is obviously very important to us. We all live in the watershed and we know that there's a lot of pollution and a lot of problems that it's facing by managing our stormwater runoff and actually filtering the water before it goes out. This house and the user are actively helping to mitigate this problem. This is the bio-wall. It's a plant filtration system in the in-home. It's actually connected to our air conditioner so when that runs it actually sucks air through the plants and the plants are moving in chemicals that are present in the environment. For example, you paint a wall. That new paint smells very toxic, very dangerous to us. The plants actually take that chemical out of the air and use it as nutrients for themselves. Our operable lube panels respond to the weather in South Florida. Once they're in the opposition, like now, they provide shading for the house which reduces your heat gain inside your house which in turn reduces your energy consumption because you don't run your air conditioning. Once they close against the house, they provide you with privacy at night. They allow for natural breezes to flow through the house if the glass walls are open like now. They are also a prototype for hurricane protection. With professional labor, we could have these houses be manufactured and could be pre-built within two weeks then set up for a disaster relief in any situation within a day if that for any family in need. The house is solar powered so we don't need to tie to a grid. Right here we're proposing to drop a piece of infrastructure for the city of New York on its underutilized green roof. I want to hopefully be a driver for the future of affordable housing. This is not just a model, but it is actually a home that someone will live in. Her name is Laquilla Coley. She is from the DC community. She has three children all under the age of five. We actually found her through one of our partners, Habitat for Humanity of Washington DC. This house is built using passive concepts so it's super insulated. Our homeowner will save about $2,300 every year and with over 30 years we'll get a payback of $100,000. About 50% of our home will be paid back to her in 30 years.


Hi everybody, Joe for jaspyscasebreaks.com here. Happy Monday. We did it. We knocked out the last filler we have to do to unlock that football mixer. But first we're gonna do the break, which is 2020, select football, blaster break number 15. And at the end, we'll re-randomize everybody's names and put you into the mixer, top 10 will get into the mixer. Big thanks to this group for rallying around this blaster box here. And all 32 teams are into the first dice roll for the break. And the second dice roll will be for the giveaway part. Here's the first dice roll. That'll be one and a five six times for names and teams. One, two, six and final time. One and a five six times for the teams. One, two, three, four, five, six and final time. Oh, Heineke throwing it back. And Seattle defense must be exhausted. Yeah, Seahawks have tried to stay on the field a little bit longer here and I don't want to chance this game. All right, here is the first half of the list right here. And here's the second half of the list right here. We've got some Monday night football in the background, Seattle nine, Washington football team nine, but they're, I think they're inside the 10 right now. All right, no trade windows in these filler breaks. Let's print and rip. Good luck. Here's the Washington touchdown. Big thanks everybody for making this happen. See if Russell Wilson on his birthday today can maybe you can make some magic.  Those Jalen Hertz for the Eagles. That's going to be for Jeremy in Philadelphia. James Morgan, rookie die cut for the Jets. That'll be for Eric, John Hightower the fourth. We've got a Jason Huntley, another Eagle die cut, Tri-Color wave and a couple more die cuts here. Jacob Eason for the Colts. Derek Brown for the Panthers. Die cut, there's Ayak, Jordan Love. Now, I think that is a field level. That'll be for Green Bay, Jeremy Port, field level. The shorter printed one of all the three different levels.  All right, great. Now, let's see who's going to win those spots. Let's go back to this list here. Let's grab everybody's names from William down to George and everyone in between. New dice, new list. Let's roll it, let's randomize it. Three and a five, eight times. Top 10 after eight. Good luck. One, two, three, four, five, six, five, six, six, seven, and eighth and final time. There you go, there's eight. So it's top 10. So from 11 on down, oh, very close Jeremy, no cigar. I appreciate you trying. I appreciate everybody trying. Thank you. Thanks for taking the risk. But unfortunately, sad times for this group, but happy times for the top 10 you're in. Adam, you're happy. So is Nick and Mark, Eric. Oh, Jeremy Port, still got in. Gail, Rosario, Josh, Gail, and Jeremy Port again. All right, so not too bad. Turned out okay, Jeremy. There you go, everybody. Thanks for watching. Thanks for getting in. We'll see you in the next video for the mixer. Bye-bye.


Welcome to our powers day of action co-hosted by the Sierra Club and main climate action now. We're excited to have you all here. Maybe folks from Sierra Club can give us a quick wave. And folks from MCANN, we're really excited to have you all. Just for all of your awareness, you've all been placed on mute for the time being. And you'll have an opportunity to unmute yourself and get a little bit more interactive in some of the coming breakout rooms that we're going to sort y'all into. And just for your awareness, this event is being recorded and will be posted on some of our social media networks following. So thank you all for participating. We're excited to have you. My name is Andrew Blunt. I will be your emcee for this evening. I am the organizing director with our power and am super excited to kick things off with such a great event, a great group of people. So I'll just say that we are really excited that all of you are here to deepen your involvement in the fight for consumer-owned utility in Maine. Now really is the time to get active and let decision makers and members of your community know that consumer ownership is the way forward for Maine's utilities. And we've got an absolutely fantastic lineup here tonight. We've got a few policymakers, folks from Augusta, a few members of the environmental activist community, some artists. We're excited to kind of broaden our message and show you why a consumer-owned is the way forward. So first off, I'd just like to introduce our first speaker. This is Representative Seth Berry of Bowdoinham. He's been working to bring our utilities into alignment with Maine's priorities for years now and is a proud sponsor of our bill in Augusta this session to establish the Pine Tree Power Company. It's great to have him with us here tonight. Kick off our event. Seth, you can take it away. Hey, thank you so much, Andrew. And it is great to see you all.  I see a lot of familiar faces, many of you who have been on this journey for some time now as well and others who are new. And I think this growing movement that we call our power is frankly just getting started. I'm sensing a huge, huge upsurge of momentum. Certainly felt it yesterday when we declared our independence on the, I believe it was a 246th anniversary of the battle at Lexington and Concord when a group in this neck of the woods declared independence from a foreign colonial power. And we similarly declared our independence yesterday with a group of bipartisan co-sponsors, Senator Rick Bennett, former Republican State Senate president, myself, Representative Grahowski, who you'll be hearing from later, who's from Ellsworth. Also a new Republican representative, Nathan Carlo from down in Buxton. And the four of us, two Republicans, two Democrats and others stood together and announced the bill and act to create the Pine Tree Power Company, which you all will be testifying on, as I understand it. And we are very excited about that because testimony and other forms of direct outreach to elected officials is going to be absolutely critical in this endeavor. And of course, when you write testimony, you can also pretty easily turn that into a letter to the editor or an op-ed. You can send it to the governor. You can send it to other influential people who you may know of in your area. So once you've really written your own pitch for this bill and thought it through, you not only understand it more deeply or are more able to articulate it, but you really become a powerful voice for this effort. And that's what we need. We need all of your voices to make this happen because it's the only way that any good change, any big change ever does happen. So why is our power movement important? Now, I think all of you have some sense of this, but just in case it's not abundantly clear, we are really focused on being the first state in the nation to get to net zero and to do so in a just, inequitable and affordable way. We are also focused on being the first rural state to get to universal, affordable, equitable broadband because those two things are related. The power utilities currently use broadband right now. They have fiber optic lines all over the state and they use them for their own purposes, but they don't share them. And there's a lot of dark fiber that could be lit up in that respect. They own the polls, which are a critical piece and a critical cost driver, a critical cause of delays for our competitive internet service providers when they're trying to get fiber optic lines on the polls. So these two things are related, but being the first state to get to net zero and to do so equitably and affordably is our primary focus. We understand that the monopoly electric utilities have a stranglehold on our clean energy future. We understand that they are literally what stands between us and renewable power for our electric vehicle or renewable power for our new electric, efficient electric heat pump or heat pump water heater or even perhaps a new electrical engine for our factory. These are the things that we need to plug into if we're going to decarbonize. Transportation is 54% of our state's overall emissions. Building heating and cooling is 30% of our overall state emissions and industrial processes are 9% of our emissions. Electricity right now is only 7% because we do have a lot of renewable energy in Maine and when you flip a switch, a lot of it is renewable. But the utilities see an opportunity in having that monopoly stranglehold. They understand that there are billions and billions of dollars in profits for them. And that is why you see this globalization, this consolidation in the utility industry at this time, not just in Maine, but all over the world. CMP is not CMP now. It is Avangrid, which in turn is Iberdrola, which in turn is big banks and the countries, the foreign governments of Qatar, Norway and Spain. Those are the folks who are actually driving the decisions and they're not necessarily bad people. They don't care about Maine and they're in it as a business proposition to maximize profit. And that leads to bad decisions that are hurtful when they come down on the ground in our communities. Those are decisions that are very, very inequitable, that are very, very damaging to our ability to drive our clean energy economy forward and to exercise moral leadership in the world. Maine has this opportunity by taking control of our energy destiny to exercise a moral leadership for the United States and in turn for the world. If we are the first state to make an equitable and just and affordable transition, then we will show the way for others. Just as we are inspired in turn by the six communities in the nation that got to 100% renewable electricity first. I think of Georgetown, Texas, Rockport, Missouri, Greensburg, Kansas, Aspen, Colorado, Burlington, Vermont and Kodiak, Alaska, four of the six conservative communities. They have very little in common except they're all served by consumer utilities. And those are the six that made it there first that got to 100% renewable electricity. That's what we're trying to do on a statewide basis. And we can do that with your help. Larger utilities like the Sacramento Municipal Utility District out in California, serving more people than live in the entire state of Maine, 1.5 million customers directly elected board. The same access to low-cost capital that Pine Tree Power Company will have. They plan to get to 100% renewable electricity by 2030. That is 20 years before Maine. And you know what? If they can do it there with their high rates, with their restructured economy, very similar to our regulation approach, then we can do it too. I was just on the phone actually the other day, Representative Groskowski was as well with one of the board members out there. She is directly elected by the people in her part of the, I believe Tri-County area in California that serves Sacramento Municipal Utility District. They have taught us so much and we're gonna continue to learn from their example as well. We've learned also from the examples of, you know, Winter Park, Florida, Jefferson County, Washington, even Long Island, which is a much bigger utility in terms of customers and load than all of Maine. They too have made this transition to consumer ownership. It has in the case of those smaller utilities been absolutely brilliant. They have improved reliability, reduced rates, improved their rate of adoption of renewables and beneficial electrification. Long Island has had some struggles, but you know what? They dropped rates by 20% and that's a pretty big deal if you're trying to get people to plug into EVs and heat pumps, you know, cost matters. We have one of the highest energy poverty levels in the country and the average manor who is earning minimum wage, maybe supporting a couple of kids, maybe a single parent. She's spending a quarter of her income right now on energy and most of that, unfortunately is going to fossil fuels. It's going to gasoline for their family cars, going to oil for their furnace. But if we're going to convert everyone, including those who are most vulnerable, those who are most at the margins to renewables, then we need to make sure that it is done affordably for them. And this proposal will save us $9 billion. That's billion with a B over the first 30 years alone. It will improve our reliability. So the lights are on and so the heat pump is on in the middle of winter. And so the refrigerator is on, it's keeping your grandmothers, you know, medications cold and keeping the food from spoiling. You know, these are the kinds of things that we need to think about if we're going to an all electric economy. CMP and Versand cannot continue to have a stranglehold on the monopoly delivery of the only energy that we're all going to really be looking towards in the future. That is not an acceptable scenario by any standard. I think Republicans understand this as well from a sovereignty perspective. They understand that local control is better. They understand that reliability is better and they understand that cost is important. So if we can appeal to folks on those terms, you know, just like our logo says, local, low cost, renewable, these are things, excuse me, local, low cost and reliable. These are things that we can all care about. You know, some folks might care about renewables, some maybe less so, but local, low cost, reliable, these things matter a great deal. And that's why on our website, ourpowermain.org, you see a lot of emphasis on those talking points. We need to emphasize that this is a utility that is from outside of state governments, it will be set up just like our existing consumer utilities in Maine, we have nine of them. They're outside of state government, they operate independently without the use of tax dollars, without the use of state bonds. This is not a state takeover, this is not government run. Yes, we're gonna elect the board, but it will be a not-for-profit independent corporation called the Pantry Power Company. And so the way we talk about this matters if we're gonna convince everyone in the whole state and bring everyone along, I think we all have, you know, a lot of environmental values here, a lot of progressive values on this call, but we need to make sure that we're appealing to everyone in order to get this done. And we're convinced that we can do that because we've done it already. You know, we have a great bipartisan coalition. I'm sure you saw some of the news coverage yesterday. We're very excited about how that went and about the momentum that we have so far. You're gonna help us to bring this thing across the finish line and to convince the governor and legislators to get the job done and support this bill now in the legislature by June. We wanna have a vote by the end of June, and that's now. So we're looking at a public hearing as soon as late April. It could be the 29th of April, I think, but more likely we'll be the first week in May or so. It gives you a little more time. I know we talked about the 22nd, but, you know, in college I always asked for an extension and now I'm giving you an extension. On your homework assignment to do your testimony. So it gives us all a little more time to get ready. And but we will hold the hearing soon. And so a big part of today is getting ready for that. I'm thrilled to be with you. Thank you all for joining us. And I'll stop there, but it looks like we have a great evening planned for talking about how best to advocate, how to use your voice and a lot of experience as well on these Zoom screens that can share great ideas about how to do that.  Yeah, great. Thank you, Seth. I think that was a fantastic intro and you're 100% on the mark that, you know, making a COU, a reality in Maine relies on the voices of all of you here today and the voices of other Mainers across the state. And I'm really glad that Seth brought up our website, ourparmain.org is a great source of resources, a great resource in terms of what you can do to get involved and will consistently be a good source of news updates on where you can plug in and get the information that you need to advocate for this change. So with that, we are going to shift gears a little bit to why you all came here tonight to take action. So in that regard, we've got two youth-led breakout rooms tonight for you to choose from to help you amplify the conversation around our powers efforts to establish consumer utility. The first will be by calling or emailing legislators and the second breakout room will be dedicated to how to write letters to the editor or write an op-ed to your local paper. So our facilitators are going to provide you all with basic guidance and gives you the tools that you need to take these actions, either tonight or in the near future and bring your involvement in this fight to the next level. They are also great, welcome back everyone. Hope that y'all had a good time and learned something about what it means to take concrete action steps to either build community support or build support in the legislature or perhaps with the governor about how to build support in those places for the COU. This, so now we'd like to, well, well, actually before we move on, I think I speak for all of us at our power when I say that it's very important to start these conversations and to build these relationships and to keep the conversation moving, right? So really maintaining the connections that you make with your legislator to help build support for this bill and other important initiatives that you might come across that these relationships are really valuable and really are what helps to build our movement and others like it. So becoming a community champion in that way will really help our cause, it's great. So next up is Emily Rookford. She's a student at Unity College and employee at Revision Solar and a youth climate activist who has really committed herself to Maine's energy future. She's gonna give us a couple of words on why a COU is important to her. Go ahead, Emily. Yeah, thank you, Andrew. So it is really good to see everyone here and everyone that came out and are ready to take action. And it's really good to see a lot of young faces as well. So young people or youth generally make up about 20% of the global population, but they're 100% of the future. So I think that's really powerful, especially that you all are taking action because this is your future. And a lot of us, we're already seeing the effects of climate change today. We're all here because we believe that that's a really powerful issue that's affecting our lives and the lives of the next generation. And that can be really depressing. It can be also very easy to kind of focus on those negative aspects to look at all the hurt that's happening in the world, to look at these issues of injustice, both climate injustice and social injustice and really just kind of dwell on the negative things in the world. But there's a lot that we can do with that and we can take that instead of just dwelling with it, we can do something about that and turn that into passion and into action. So I think especially, just looking at the energy economy in Maine, we want it to be cleaner and that's for an environment. We want it to be just. We want to speak to everyone, not just those who can afford to put expensive solar on their group because it's not for everyone right now. And a way that we can do that is with the consumer own utility. As Seth kind of mentioned earlier, all these places that aren't the richest places in the world, they've reached 100% renewable energy and they've done that through consumer own utilities. So this is a proven, it's a clear way that we can take action and we can make change, physical change in our world that affects people and it affects the environment and doing it in a way that's economically accessible for everyone. So yeah, taking action, like you all just learned about and these breakout rooms, talking to your legislators, like Andrew just mentioned, really forming a relationship with them as well, not just letting this be a one-time thing for consumer and utilities. And while that's important, moving forward with that as well and kind of pushing them and holding them accountable to this passion and the change that you wanna see in the future. So that's definitely something, building those relationships, writing letters to the editors and writing op-eds using your voice. Every single person in this call right now has a unique story and you all have different aspects of your life and experiences that you can really pull and kind of make that meaningful message your own. So I think really just not being afraid to take that step into passion and use whatever is frustrating you, whatever is driving you to be here today to take action and make something happen. So back to you, Andrew. Thank you so much, Emily. That is absolutely right. Well, I particularly liked what you said about caring for members of our community and how this issue is about, it's about our communities, it's about local control and it's about putting how we power our future into our own hands. So now we're gonna shift a little to the creative side. I think we can all get behind the intersections between art and protest through history and we have a really excellent clip from a main-based dance group, many of whose members are youth and adult climate activists in their own right and so they've provided us with an amazing performance that I hope you all enjoy. Matt, you wanna go ahead and cue that up? Great. Yep. Hold on one second, sorry. I gotta do it one more time. Yeah, it was muted there. Thank you so much to Nevea for that performance. Yes, round of applause for a while. So I think that message to Joy at the end there really speaks to why we're engaging in this work, uplifting our communities, building a better future together. And next up to speak a little bit to that is Jess Cooper, a youth climate activist based in Western Maine and a member of that dance group that we just saw who can offer us a piece of spoken word poetry. Take it away, Jess. Awesome, thanks, Andrew. Yeah, before I gave a little bit on this spoken word, I just wanted to say yes. Thank you so much for addressing how creativity intersects with climate change. Creativity and art and artivism can really make a difference. So yeah, that was a really fun video to take part in and to dance in. This has been a learning experience for me writing this short spoken word piece because I think it's really taught me more about the consumer-owned utility as I wrote it and thought about it and thought about how it applied to my life. So yeah, I hope that it can do the same for you a little bit. When we listen to the wisdom of the indigenous peoples of this land, we are reminded of the ways that we can work hand in hand with nature, each other, our friends and neighbors close by. So why? Why is it that we have turned this blind eye to how disconnected our connection is to the grid on which we all rely? Transmission lines lace the sky and hum with power and a reminder that this energy doesn't necessarily come from nearby. When we pay more for something we all use to the profit and into the pockets of companies overseen overseas, we lose and so much more than just money. We can choose a consumer-owned utility and relabel ourselves as a community powered on resiliency. With our power, we can break free from an outdated system that we no longer need. One that feeds the greed that squeezes every dollar from folks like you and me, just trying to make ends meet and our planet a better place to be. Until you've had your light shut off because the cost was just too much, you can't imagine choosing between paying for your bills or for your child's lunch. So what do we do? Well, this idea isn't new, a COU, a utility, a useful thing that's used and owned by you, the consumer, the member and the owner too. Here's your chance to stand in your power, to stand up and choose a clean energy future shining a light for the way through to mains liberation from for-profit utilities long overdue. It will require all of us from York to Oxford to Piscaticus to tell our stories, to build back better and with equity. We're here today calling on the 16 counties to join together to make ripples and waves, sending our energy to every part of the state. There's a saying that Maine feels like one big small town. Well, if we're looking to all stay connected, this is a sure way how. Make some noise for our power and let us take action here and now. Thank you. Woo! Awesome, Jess. Good job. Wow, thank you, Jess. That was amazing. That was really amazing. I had shivers. Yeah, that's just spoke so well to the principles of justice and unity that we're really pushing for here with this proposal. And yeah, I'm a bit speechless. Thank you. Wow, next up is our another co-sponsor of the bill that we have in the legislature to push for the Pine Tree Power Company. Rep Nicole Grohowski of Ellsworth has been a champion of utility reform in Augusta this session and is going to speak to us about what it means to be a member of the community, a citizen advocate in public hearing and how getting involved through testifying is a really good way to make your voice heard. Go ahead, Nicole. Thank you so much.  You have so many other places you could be, but you chose to be here with us and it's so hard to follow such beautiful art. I felt like I was already so passionate about this project, researching it for a couple of years now and that just moved me to double down on my own effort. So I hope you feel the same way and thank you to everyone for being a part of this. So as Andrew mentioned, we'd love to encourage you to come and be a part of our public hearing, to come and testify about the importance of this legislation. It is so important that the voices of real people, our future as we heard from Emily of our youth, of the folks that have seen how we got here to come and share your stories because we have a tough battle ahead of us, to be honest. CMP and Bursinger out there every day, spinning their own versions of this story, telling you this is gonna be a government takeover and it's scary, it's gonna cost a gazillion dollars, numbers that I don't even know where they come from. They're not numbers they pay taxes on to us, that's for sure. So we really, really just need everybody's voices to overpower them, to take back our power and say, we're here, we're speaking the truth and this is such an important effort. I don't wanna go into too many details about what that might look like because I know that we're gonna have a separate breakout session to talk about this but I really would encourage you if you've never done it before, this is hopefully an easier year to participate. You don't have to drive hours and wait in long lines to come testify. You all obviously know how to use Zoom. That's how we're testifying this year so you can use that skill to be a part of our action on the day of the public hearing. As Representative Berry mentioned, hopefully in the next few weeks. But I encourage you to participate. I myself had never been to the state house and a couple of years ago, I testified about rank choice voting because I felt very passionate that that was an important democracy reform and one thing led to another and people nudged me and said, hey, you seem to care about our future. Why don't you run for office? So here I am, you just never know what can happen.  You don't have to run for office just because you came in and participated in a public hearing but it can be such an eye-opening and welcoming experience. So I really hope that you'll consider joining and if you can stick around for the next 10 minutes we'll have some breakout sessions to help you prepare for that exciting adventure of having your voice heard to the people who represent you. No, it is their job, it is our job to listen to you. So you need to come and speak to us. Otherwise it's the high paid lobbyists. As Barry told me when I got on the Energy Utilities and Technology Committee, everybody there has shiny shoes. They're very fancy people. They're paid a lot of money. They fly here from all over the country to tell us that they know better that their way is the best way and you all know that that's not true. So we need all of your dancing shoes and your clogs and your Birkenstocks and whatever coat your slippers. I'm in my slippers every day in public hearings. Bring those shoes and let's get to work. Yeah, you can hold up our shoes. Shiny shoes don't matter anymore in this day and age. No. Well, thank you, Nicole. That is absolutely right. I for one am barefoot at the moment. So I hope I don't need fancy shoes to come to the UT committee. And I don't think any of you do either. We are now gonna break off into two breakout rooms where for those of you interested in testifying, you can speak to either Rep Setbury or Rep Nicole Gruhavsky and ask some questions about what it's like to testify and get some guidance on your own testimony and how to share stories as a concerned citizen in support of the COU. Well, I just wanted to bring everyone back in the room. I know we're a few minutes over, but just to give one last round of thanks to all of you for coming out, it was great to see how many people showed up to learn a little bit more about and take action for the fight for consumer agitility and the fight for the Pine Tree Power Company in Maine. And like I said before, now is really the time to get active in our communities to educate folks on the issue and to spread the word that consumer ownership is the way forward, the way to power our future. So a huge thanks to everyone here. Special thanks to folks at MCANN and at Sierra Club Maine, who've been great co-sponsors and please stay in touch. I just put a link to our Take Action page in the chat. You can subscribe to our Action Alerts, find links to our social media and that's how you're really gonna hear the newest news that our power has to offer. That's how we'll be communicating about the public hearing. It's how we'll be letting you know really what's what in the fight for a consumer agitility. So like I said, please stay in touch and feel free to leave me an email. I'm popping that in the chat as well. If you have any questions or would like to follow up about anything you heard tonight, always happy to chat with people. Thanks a lot. Have a great night, everyone. Thank you. Thank you.


I remember when I was in, like, second grade or something, we were being taught how to write haikus, and part of that was learning how to count syllables, because, you know, you have to make sure you have the right number of syllables per line. And I had a lot of trouble with this.  I was like, yeah, but you can just as easily be, like, the river has water, or the river has water, whatever you want. They assumed that I was just being intentionally difficult, which, to be fair, was something I did a lot. After all, they thought, if you just tried to copy what they're doing with the clapping method, you start to just feel the natural rhythm of language and gain a sort of intuitive sense of where the syllable boundaries are. And they were kind of right. I did have an intuitive sense of it, and I did eventually successfully write a haiku along with everyone else. But what I had difficulty expressing was that no one could give me an actual definition of what a syllable was, or even a way to tell where the syllables are without relying on what your gut tells you. Roughly a decade later, I'm in college studying linguistics, and I find that, still, no one could give me an answer, and I'm still frustrated. I've found that even in legit academic journals about linguistics, there is no universal definition of what a syllable is, or any algorithm for determining where they are. So, if no one can tell us what a syllable is, then how do we even know they're even a thing? What makes us think syllables even exist? Well, denying the existence of syllables turns out to be pretty tricky. For one thing, there's poetry. People from all around the world, from every language and dialect, have songs and poems, and have their own poetic traditions, which tend to have regular numbers of syllables per line. Another interesting, more recent piece of evidence is the fact that babies, when they're just learning to speak, tend to rhythmically alternate between open mouth and closed mouth positions, and that this rhythmic alternation looks like it might sort of slowly turn into normal speech with syllables, indicating that we might intuitively divide up speech into units consisting of a single sort of opening of the mouth-ish thing. But most compelling of all is the fact that everyone in the world seems to just sort of have this intuitive idea of what a syllable is. Like, take a bunch of people who all speak the same language and tell them to divide up a given phrase into syllables, and they'll usually come up with the exact same thing, or it'll at least be really close. It might just be psychological, but clearly we're dividing words into these groups of sounds in our heads, and besides, it's difficult to deny the existence of something that you can just kinda feel is there. So, over time, linguists have come up with different ideas about what might make a syllable a syllable. Perhaps the oldest suggestion dates back to the 1920s. A researcher named R.H. Stetson theorized that when we speak, there are pulses of activity in our lungs and diaphragm, and that a syllable consists of a single constriction of respiratory muscles. Initial data sort of supported this, but later research in the 50s that used electrodes to monitor people's muscle activity found that this hypothesis did not hold up. Another idea relies on the principle of co-articulation. You see, linguists like to imagine that speech is composed of a string of speech sounds, where each sound is pronounced the same everywhere, but we know that this isn't really true. Sounds change their pronunciation depending on what's around them. People will round their lips when they pronounce consonants that occur next to ooo sounds. When vowels occur next to nasal sounds like m or n, the vowels tend to take on a more nasal quality. So, maybe syllables represent a sort of region of co-articulation. A space within a word where sounds tend to bleed into each other, being pronounced as one big blend of noise, but without bleeding into other syllables. At least as much. This idea gained some ground in the 60s, but was followed by a large body of work showing that no, co-articulation is way more complicated than that. That sounds can and do bleed over and affect the pronunciation of sounds in other syllables. And that in general, everything varies a lot depending on what language we're talking about and what sounds there aren't exactly where the syllable boundary is, and it's just all very complicated. By the 80s, some researchers were starting to consider that maybe syllables really don't exist. All that stuff I said earlier about how we have an intuitive grasp of what a syllable is, well, maybe that's just a product of our culture. After all, people who speak different languages will very often look at the same set of sounds and disagree on where the syllable boundaries are. One study from 1988 says, It should be noted that the status of syllable boundaries has come into question in a number of studies on co-articulation, and some acoustic analyses have even led to outright rejection of syllables as intuitively given. And yet it was around this rather pessimistic time that the modern conception of a syllable began to take form. You see, one of the big things that linguists use the idea of a syllable for is to make rules about how different sounds are pronounced. So, maybe that should be how we define syllables. Maybe a syllable is a part of a word that starts with sounds that act like they're at the beginning of a syllable and ends with sounds that act like they're at the end of a syllable. Yeah, this is blatantly circular, but, well, if we start out with the assumption that language is composed of these units that affect the pronunciation of sounds and then try to figure out where these units are, then not only do the units we come up with very often match up with what speakers perceive as syllables, but these same units frequently turn out to have very specific rules about what is and isn't allowed in what positions within them. And they also tend to come in handy when trying to figure out how things like the pitch and rhythm of a language work. It might sound like if we're looking at a new language and we don't know where the syllable boundaries are or how sounds change based on syllable boundaries, then we'd have no way to get started. But we can look at any of these characteristics of syllables to try to get some hints as to how to begin. And in addition to that, there's another method of determining syllable boundaries that I think is incredibly useful and takes advantage of one key fact about syllables that everyone agrees on. They never span multiple words. You'll never have a syllable that starts in one word and ends in the next. Because of that, we know that if a sound is at the beginning of a word, it's also at the beginning of a syllable, and if it's at the end of a word, it's at the end of a syllable. We can use this fact to figure out how sounds are pronounced differently depending on their location within a syllable, and once we know that, we can figure out where the syllables are. For instance, if you say the phrase helmet and then say the phrase helmet, you might notice that you're saying them slightly differently. It's not that there's a pause between them, when I said them just now, I started each word right after finishing the last. Rather, I pronounced the m sound slightly differently in one than the other. In helmet, I pronounced it slightly longer and lowered my vellum slightly more, because that's how you pronounce the m sound when it's at the end of a syllable. Now compare these phrases with the word helmet, which has the same sounds in the same order, and you'll find that it's pronounced much closer to helmet than helm it, telling us that the m is at the beginning of a syllable in this word, and that there's a syllable boundary right here. Now, you might have noticed that even though we sort of have a vague understanding of how syllables act and how to tell where they are, we still can't really say what they are, and that's because there still isn't a universally accepted definition for the syllable. This is an area of ongoing research. They seem to play a big part of how we realize particular sounds, so they're probably a big part of how we store words in our heads. But that kind of thing is really difficult to research or prove, so exactly what the role of syllables is in the process of making an idea into a bunch of sound waves is still something we don't really understand. But at least this method of using word boundaries gives us a working algorithm to use to figure out where they are. Good thing everyone always agrees on where word boundaries are, otherwise the application of this idea would get a lot more complicated.  So put down that shovel face, cause we're swinging in the night, that tells you no.
