The Go Eco Enviro Show

OK folks, tonight it’s all about getting’ from point A to Point B without trashing the planet. It’s the Go Eco Enviro Show and we have some of the Pedal People back to remind us humans that those feet we have down there at the ends of our legs are not just for pushin’ on the gas or brake pedals. And, the big news: the Supremes go thumbs down on the Emperor's emissions! But as always, first it's time for......Revenge of the Critters! The crazy poopin’ bird!

Brrrrr! There it is again. Glen, what’s the countdown? Hopefully we won’t have to wait that long to oust Big Oil from the White House. Seems like they took quite a hit yesterday from the Supremes. Tooooo bad! And, we’re running out of space to record impeachable offenses! We don’t usually quote the likes of Thomas Friedman, the New York Times’ flat-earth columnist, but he did this tidy little number on Phillip Cooney last week.

The awesome off-off-broadway hit "Cars, cars, cars!" by our own "Oiligarchy" singers takes us to our next segment: Big Oil, Big Auto, what’s the dif, right? We’ll take a brief look at Big Enviro’s campaign for higher fuel efficiency. Also, GM backs off on their electric car. BTW, On our next show we’ll get a call-in from Chelsea Sexton, Executive Director of Plug In America who was featured in the film "Who killed the electric car?" Hey, how about cars that run on....water?. No? How about air?

Finally, the Capitol Steps' "God bless my SUV" segways us into our interview with the Pedal People of beautiful downtown Florence (do you think they drove over to the studio?)

Then it's on to the ol' Bus Stop Billboard:
