Apr 02, 2021

This week President Biden announced his "green" economic stimulus as well as his goals for offshore wind. Stanford professor Mark Jacobson, the author of numerous studies on how to move to 100% clean renewable energy, discusses Biden's climate agenda as well as the false solutions of nuclear and carbon capture technology with WOOC's Mark Dunlea. And Ollie Westfall, owner of OMI Maple & Honey in Ghent in Columbia County, spoke with WOOC's Sina Basila Hickey about his bees and the struggle with the varroa mite.

The WGXC Morning Show is a radio magazine show featuring local news, interviews with community leaders and personalities, reports on cultural issues, a rundown of public meetings and local and regional events, with weather updates, and more about and for the community, made mostly through volunteers in the community through WGXC. The Catskill Makers Syndicate produce the "Better Weather" for the show. Rob Gelles produces the Columbia County history segment "Rob Around The County" and "This Month in History" for the show.

At 9 a.m. "The WGXC Daily," with local headlines, weather, and previews of community events, airs. At 10 a.m., national headlines from Public News Service are on WGXC.
