Program description:

WBAI's Environmental Program. Discussions, interviews and action alerts on diverse ecological concerns - local, regional, national and global.

Ken Gale is a freelance writer who has studied energy issues for nearly 25 years. Soon after joining the NYC SHAD Alliance (Sound and Hudson Against Atomic Development) in 1980, he started their second newsletter, NEW RISING SUN. Due to his science (F.I.T., Florida Institute of Technology, not Fashion Institute) and writing background, he found himself translating NRC and other government "literature" into English. Even after nuclear power was no longer a "sexy" issue after 1982, he continued researching and when the famous accident at Chernobyl happened in 1986, he used that research to write "Chernobyl-on-the-Hudson" for the New York Greens, which was edited by Bill Weinberg, of WBAI's Moorish Orthodox Radio Crusade and brought back into print by Friends of Clearwater.

He has also written for math textbooks (those questions at the end of each chapter, "Practice Your Skills), various newspapers and magazines such as The Amsterdam News and Downtown and for comic strips and comic books, both mainstream and alternative.

His radio career started in the early '80s as a salesperson for WHBI-FM. He joined Ed Menje on WBAI's overnight hard rock music show "Monsters from the Id" in 1991 which was turned into 'Nuff Said! in 1993, where he interviewed writers and artists in the comic book and comic strip fields.

Ken has been active in environmental issues for as long as he can remember, with several successes against major international corporations.
