Join Zach Torpie and Katie Zakrzewski as they dive into the complexities of conservative environmentalism in this episode of Green Tea Party Radio! They explore the latest developments in environmental policy, including the intriguing nomination of Lee Zeldin as the head of the EPA and Chris Wright as Secretary of Energy. With a mix of humor and insightful analysis, they dissect the implications of these appointments, Zeldin’s mixed voting record, and Wright's focus on natural gas and geothermal energy.

The episode kicks off with some light-hearted banter about an upcoming play in London that dramatizes the negotiations of the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, and then Katie asks OpenAI to help her write her own.

The duo also shares their thoughts on the importance of balancing economic interests with environmental stewardship, while encouraging listeners to engage with their representatives on these pressing issues. Grab your mugs and tune in for a lively discussion on the intersection of politics, energy, and conservation!
