Big Coal, Adam Feldman, The Sopranos Finale
Washington is ready to plunk down billions in subsidies for new, alternative coal. Jeff Goodell, author of Big Coal: The Dirty Secret Behind America’s Energy Future, talks about the potential problems of using liquid coal as an “alternative” fuel. Faith talks to writer Jeff Goodell about why conceiving of coal as an "alternative" fuel is an idea rife with potential problems. And Sopranos stars Michael Imperioli and Sharon Angela stop by. Plus, theater critic Adam Feldman talks about Broadway's lack of appeal to young people.
