Hosts Richard Morrison and Cord Blomquist join Michelle Minton in welcoming you to LibertyWeek 36: The Green Episode. We begin our environmental adventure with an update on the high cost of renewable energy and the good news from the coal laboratory. We then pass on advice for drinking green in Beer News and celebrate the recent observance of Human Achievement Hour. This brings us to the featured interview with our distinguished colleague and author Steve Milloy – where we explore his new book Green Hell: How Environmentalists Plan to Ruin Your Life and What You Can Do to Stop Them and its targets, from the Audubon Society to Zero Population Growth. Finally we round out the program with a little Olympic News.

Re: Recycled bottles for home brewing (gross)
Most home brewers use a jet bottle washer and some kind of sanitizer, and often run them throw the heat cycle in the dishwasher which drys the rinsed out sanitizer, and kills off anything that might have been left behind.
Beyond being “green” it is much cheaper than buying new bottles every time, and helps keep your cost down.
It is very clean, and not gross at all. I’ll be bottling 5 Gallons of Bourbon Barrel Porter in a few weeks using mostly mostly used bottles, that I have bottled several other batches in before.
