This useful resource used to have a link on the tvradioandpress page  on
the old site. As all the media is on the front page, where's a good place
to link it in on the new site? Under Get Educated maybe.

In peace Neil

The 300-350 Show: Fixing the US

If the Waxman-Markey climate bill goes unchanged through the Senate, it
could make an adequate and fair global deal on climate change impossible.
The bill would allow new coal-fired power plants to be built up until
2020. It would also strip the Environmental Protection Agency of their
existing authority to regulate coal-fired power plants under the Clean Air
Act. It would replace this direct regulation with the widely-discredited
cap & trade system. It has a very low level of ambition.

As 125 civil society groups from around the globe write to President Obama
asking for US leadership on climate change, we chew over options for
enhanced US action with our guest Daphne Wysham, presenter of  Earthbeat
Radio and founder and director of the Sustainable Energy & Economy
Network.
