Faced with the increasing global demand for oil and the threat of climate change, America needs a new energy policy – but what are our options? Bill Moyers sits down with Public Agenda analysts Jean Johnson and Scott Bittle to discuss how we can power America’s future and why we should “work the problem” rather than listening to extremes on either side. Johnson and Bittle are co-authors of “Who Turned Out the Lights? Your Guided Tour to the Energy Crisis.” Then, the “Journal” assesses Obama’s first year as president in the wake of Democrats’ defeat in Massachusetts’ special election for Senate with Princeton politics and African-American studies professor Melissa Harris-Lacewell and journalist Eric Alterman.
An urgent fundraising appeal: 8 Days to raise $43,000
Thank you for reading Truthout today. We have a brief message before you go —
Unfortunately, donations are down for Truthout at a time when media is under immense pressure. Trump is arresting journalists, Big Tech is censoring independent news, and economic conditions for media have been worsening for years.
Simultaneously, movement media is vital in the fight against Trump’s authoritarian reign. Our mandate to tell the truth, share strategies for resistance, and speak against fascism is ever more urgent in this deluge of political censorship. Yet, we are struggling to meet our publishing costs when our work is so urgently needed.
If you can support Truthout with a one-time or monthly donation, you will make a significant impact on our work. Please give today during our fundraiser (8 days left).
