The Leonard Lopate Show

Changing America's Energy Sources

Inspired by the hard work and ingenuity that led to the Apollo moon landing in 1969, Washington State Congressman Jay Inslee and Bracken Hendricks propose that America's scientific community focus with equal intensity on the challenge of changing the way we produce and consume energy. Apollo's Fire presents stories of people already working on cleaner energy sources, and offers blueprints for new legislation that can help the cause.
