The Power and Politics of New Energy Frontiers

Alex Chadwick takes us to the next frontier of energy development, introducing us to people and ideas that may help the next president propel us to energy independence. His compelling interviews include:

--Mike Pethel, a garage tinkerer from California, who's designing a super light, battery-driven car built for speed — can it really out-race a Ferrari?

--Colorado State University research chemist Amy Prieto, who's building a revolutionary battery that just might be the holy grail of green technology

This program is part of a series on energy called BURN: An Energy Journal.
