Summary:
Shortly after President Obama's
inauguration, his Chief of Staff sent
out a memo. Basically it said: do what
you can to stop those last minute regulations
the Bush administration passed.
Also, if you've ever wondered why swarms
of bugs hover around your car, Rebecca
Williams talked with an ecologist who's got
the answer.
And, we can expect Congress to take up
a carbon cap-and-trade bill soon. That
would make greenhouse gas a commodity.
Lester talks with Dan Lashoff of the United
States Climate Action Partnership to find out
what this could mean for businesses - and
people looking for work.
