While many Americans were firing up barbecues and breaking out the sparklers to celebrate Independence Day, biotech industry executives were more likely chilling champagne to celebrate another kind of independence: immunity from federal law.


A so-called “Monsanto rider,” quietly slipped into the multi-billion dollar FY 2013 Agricultural Appropriations bill, would require – not just allow, but require - the Secretary of Agriculture to grant a temporary permit for the planting or cultivation of a genetically engineered crop, even if a federal court has ordered the planting be halted until an Environmental Impact Statement is completed.

Actor and environmental activist Mark Ruffalo explains how the controversial practice of hydro-fracking threatens our health and that of our planet. The conversation with Deepak investigates how government policy has exempted fracking from the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts, permitting the natural gas industry to inject hazardous chemicals and millions of gallons of water deep into the earth. Mark hopes to inspire millions to join the movement to protect our water and shift to a renewable energy economy.


We don’t blink an eye of the money that we have been spending on perpetual warfare. We literally don’t even, we don’t just sit here and go, ‘Whoa, trillions & trillions of dollars for warfare.’ But when we’re talking about healthcare, which is our people and their well-being, we’re shocked that it should cost us some money.
