Kert Davies, research director for Greenpeace US, appeared recently on The Breakdown, a weekly podcast on TheNation.com. Kert was the architect of ExxonSecrets.org  and is currently running our PolluterWatch.org campaign.

The Breakdown is a newly launched weekly podcast series by Christopher Haynes of TheNation.com. Haynes describes the podcast: “Basically, it's a new model of how readers and citizens can get their tough questions answered by experts and journalists”.

Last week, we saw a frenzy of activity around the oil spill — BP CEO Tony Hayward was grilled by Congress and President Obama addressed the nation for the first time ever from the Oval Office. Still, the situation remains the same in the Gulf — the world continues to watch the oil gush into the Gulf killing and harming precious marine animals and the ecosystems they rely on.

The Breakdown is betting that one question might have crossed a lot of people’s minds: “Is BP unique in its ability to create catastrophe or is the entire practice of offshore oil drilling inherently and equally dangerous regardless of which company is running the rig?”

Kert helps The Breakdown answer that question here, or listen below:

Greenpeace’s Energy [R]evolution is an in-depth analysis of how we can move successfully to clean, renewable energy by 2050 while leaving dirty, dangerous fossil fuels behind. We teamed up with scientists, engineers, universities and institutes from around the world to draft this blueprint for how we get from where we are now to a green and peaceful future — in other words, where we need to be.

We are now happy to announce that we have rolled out an Energy [R]evolution iPhone app so you can access our report on the go! The future now fits right in your pocket.

Here are some of the app's key features:

• Provides a shorter, lighter and more concise version of the report.
• Find out all that you could ever want to know about the report in our FAQ section.
• Provide a boost to the [R]evolution by using the quick signup tool and taking actions online. (*Note: By signing up through the app, you'll get Greenpeace International's monthly newsletter and action alerts. Sign up for Greenpeace USA's monthly newsletter and action alerts here.)
• The app also provides an opportunity to make contributions to support Greenpeace's work to ensure the Energy [R]evolution becomes a reality.

You can read more about the app here or download the app now and be a part of the Energy [R]evolution!

(Please note, however, that the app is for the global scenario specifically. You can find out more about our sustainable energy scenario for the USA here.)
