Sean O'Hanlon interviewing Tia Diaz-Balart, founder EcoChamber

Sean O’Hanlon rocked the airwaves last night during the debut of Pure Energy. The show was broadcast live from Metro1 Properties and more than 200 people were on hand to listen to the broadcast. Although there was a slight snafu with the phone lines, the discussion around which forms of energy should be pursued became a heated discussion. 880 the Biz host Rich Roffman joined Sean and they preceded to debate whether you can produce geothermal energy in Florida (the answer is yes).

Sean also visited with the founder of EcoChamber, Tia Diaz-Balart, about the importance of launching a global green chamber of commerce. The EcoChamber will be working on policy decisions around the world to ensure that sustainable business practices are adopted.

You can see photos from the launch party at our Facebook fan page. For those of you who missed the live broadcast, we’ll be posting the podcast soon so check back.

The first national radio show dedicated to the business of renewable energy will make its debut from the Miami studios of 880 The Biz (WZAB) on Monday, July 13, at 6:00 pm Eastern time.

Pure Energy is hosted by noted energy expert Sean O’Hanlon, Executive Director of the American Biofuels Council (ABC).

Pure Energy“We’re going to talk about all forms of energy and we’re going to focus primarily on the business side of alternatives and renewables in the energy sector,” said O’Hanlon. “Most people focus on clean, green and sustainable but overlook the economic side of it – job creation, cost savings, cost competitiveness and the opportunity to invest in various technologies and companies in renewables.” The program will include all aspects of energy, from policy and petroleum concerns to wind, solar, hydro-electric, geothermal, and biofuels.

Guests for the premier show include two renowned energy authorities – worldwide peak oil expert Richard Heinberg, author of nine books including “Peak Everything” and aerospace engineer Dr. Robert Zubrin, author of Energy Victory, who says the nation needs and energy show like this right now. “I think it’s a great thing and I think it would be better if we had a network of such in every city across the country,” said Zubrin. “Because for America to break free from the oil cartel is essential for our future and people everywhere need to know how we can do it.”

“With oil prices heading back over $70/bbl, and set to go higher, it could not be more urgent for America to take immediate action to break free of the stranglehold of the oil cartel,” said Zubrin, author of “Energy Victory”. The U.S. congress could effectively destroy OPEC with the stroke of a pen simply by passing a law requiring that all new cars sold in the U.S. be flex fueled. Such a law would make flex fuel the international standard and would thereby create fuel choice all around the world.”

Zubrin will tell our listeners how, “our decades-long relationship with OPEC has resulted in the looting of our economy, the corruption of our political system, and now the funding and protection of terrorist regimes and movements that are committed to our destruction.” His segment will be nothing short of tantalizing as O’Hanlon and Zubrin engage in a lively debate about the best way to end America’s addiction to oil.
