Is clean coal hope for the future, or just misleading marketing jargon? Panelists weigh in on the possibilities and opportunities.

Panelists discuss new technologies for carbon capture and storage and IGCC, and the implications of energy policy decisions on the health of our economy and our planet. This Segment reviews Obama's policy.
