About this episode

Nick Reed discusses the implications of a solar power plant and a townhall meeting in Marshfield.

Hour 1 - Good Tuesday morning! Here's what Nick Reed covers this hour: Former President Barack Obama used “Star Wars Day” to showcase his ghastly presidential center with Mark Hamill aka “Luke Skywalker” joining him. There will be a townhall meeting regarding the data center in Marshfield. It will be held tonight (5/5/26) at the Jackson Event Center. It will start at 6 PM.  Federal taxpayers helped build a $2.2 billion solar plant — now electricity customers are on the hook to keep it running. The Ivanpah Solar Power Plant, a sprawling facility near the California-Nevada border built with billions in federal support during the Obama-era economic stimulus program, is stuck in a costly dilemma. Nick talks about the plant is also responsible for the death of thousands of birds.
