About this video
Mike McKenna, President of MWR Strategies, talks about how House Democrats settled conflicts within their own ranks on the most contentious aspects of cap-and-trade for carbon emissions to advance the Waxman-Markey energy bill. Former President Jimmy Carter this week told members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that the U.S. has experienced "a long period of energy complacency." Jay Hakes, Director of the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum and former head of the Energy Information Administration talks about the legacy of Carter’s presidency. Clean Skies News examines Energy Secretary Steven Chu's proposed FY2010 budget that slashes programs for developing hydrogen transportation technologies. Patrick Serfass, Vice President-Technology and Communications for the National Hydrogen Association; and Joe Romm, Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress Action Fund debate the possible effects of scaling back funding for hydrogen technology.
