The MCAN Climate Minute - What lies ahead in 2013?

Well, it's our final MCAN Climate Minute of the year.  It's been a great experience, from our early (and horribly sounding) efforts in June, to getting onto iTunes this month.  In this final installment Click on the “MCAN Climate Minute” picture to the right to start the recording in a new window. Here’s more information about some of the things we talked about in this edition of the Climate Minute: American Electric Power announced the retirement of their "Big Sandy" powerplant in eastern Kentucky in 2015, as the cost of pollution control equipment made the plant uneconomical. "The Prize" is a 2008 book by Daniel Yergin which offers a wonderful look at the world of oil, money, and power. NRDC has an excellent webpage discussing the issues with fracking. For more information about how to get active on fracking and shale gas pipelines, check out 350ma.org. And, we didn't mention this in the podcast, but here's our prediction for the Superbowl this year: Patriots over Green Bay, 34-31.... Again, we've enjoyed our conversations with you in 2012, and look forward to coming at you from the pink and orange coffeehouse, or places yet to be discovered, in the new year. And, as always -- remember, for these reasons we have discussed, the United States must place a price on carbon.  Have a great weekend, and we look forward to talking with you again next week!
