Where We Live: Speaking Of The Environment

President Obama has addressed the Gulf oil spill, and what it might mean for the future of fossil fuels.  The President speech was meant to give comfort to those in the Gulf Coast affected by the spill, and to put BP on notice that they'll be heald responsible for paying claims.  But he also addressed the issue that's now emerged: from Global Warming to dangerous drilling, the time might be now for renewable resources.  We'll talk with New Yorker writer Elizabeth Kolbert.  She covers the environment, and is coming to New Haven to speak at the Arts and Ideas Festival.
