Coal Fever: Industry Priorities and Public Policy

October 31, 2001

Advisors to the Bush administration have included many executives and lobbyists from the oil, gas, nuclear, and coal industries. On this program we look at how industry ties to the administration affect U.S. energy policy. We also have an investigative report on a top Bush appointee.

Featuring:

Tyson Slocum, senior researcher with Public Citizen; David Leavy, University of Massachusetts at Boston; Tom Fitzgerald, Kentucky Resources Council; Carolyn Johnson, Citizens Coal Council; Carl Close, former assistant director of Eastern Field Operations for the Office of Surface Mining; John McCormick, Citizens Coal Council; Kevin Kamps, Nuclear Information and Resource Service; Celia Wexler, Common Cause; Kert Davies, Director of Greenpeace's U.S. Climate Campaign; Steve Karakis, spokesperson for the Nuclear Energy Institute.
