Energy Policy, Clean Coal and Nuclear Power

The United States' energy reserves are discussed, with the hosts referring to the country as the "Saudi Arabia of coal." They argue that clean coal technology could power the nation for 350 years and create jobs, yet political focus remains on alternative energy or nuclear power. John McCain's support for nuclear plants is noted as a result of industry influence.
