Why Your Transportation Freedom Might be at Risk with Terri Hall
The Power Hour is a weekly podcast that discusses the day’s most interesting energy and environmental policy issues with top national experts. The Power Hour expands its horizon with this discussion. Jack talks with Terri Hall of Texans Uniting for Reform and Freedom (TURF) about how our freedom to drive where we want, when we want is being threatened. Terri is an activist who got sick and tired of seeing her highway dollars being wasted and decided to do something about it so she started organizing people to bring integrity back to the system. Before she knew it, she was running an organization whose mission was to do exactly that. While Terri’s work focuses on Texas, you will quickly learn that what she does impacts us all. Jack and Terri cover a lot of ground, discussing everything from highway spending to what regulators are trying to do track us in our automobiles.

Could Fusion Be the Next Big Energy Breakthrough with Jackie Siebens
The Power Hour is a weekly podcast that discusses the day’s most interesting energy and environmental policy issues with top national experts. This week Jack invites Jackie Siebens of Helion, one of the nation’s leading fusion energy companies, to the Power Hour for a fascinating conversation about this exciting technology. They discuss how the technology works, how close it is to deployment, why fusion could be the key to solving a lot of energy issues, and does it make economic sense. But most important, Jackie puts to bed the age-old question of whether fusion is just a few decades away. Not give away the plot, but she makes a compelling argument for fusion being much closer than we think.

[…] Basically, the same exact project was already paid for with gas tax money. So now why are we having to toll it? So basically it had to do with follow the money and finding out what happened to that money and why is it now being turned into a toll road when they already had the gas tax money to expand it as a freeway. So none of that sat well with me. I've always been a fiscal hawk, if you will. And, you know, basically, I mean, we think about it. If I'm now going to have to pay five bucks every time I had to go into San Antonio for groceries or for the doctor's office or airport, whatever, that was going to add up to a ton of money with our very big family.
