As the still unfolding oil disaster in the Gulf Of Mexico hits the one month mark, we’ll speak to one of the nation’s leading experts on the Bayou coastal region of Louisiana. Mike Tidwell, author of the prescient 2003 book “Bayou Farewell,” and founder of The Chesapeake Climate Action Network, has some strong but informed commentary on what needs to happen in regards to our failed energy policy. Buckle up for this interview, Mike does not mince his words as he implores America to wake up to the multiple crisis’ continued oil dependency will bring. Can the oil destruction have a positive impact on efforts to enact strong climate legislation? We’ll ‘drill down’ (sorry) for a closer look at the Kerry-Lieberman American Power Act with Wade Crowfoot, West Coast Policy Director for The Environmental Defense Fund.
