Pick Your Poison
Jon Kudelka
Coal, gas, nuclear, wind, solar: as the great debate about how we should power the nation continues, it would seem all options have been on the table this year. Jon Kudelka takes us to sideshow alley, where politicians perform sleight-of-hand tricks for glum carnival-goers and try to distract us with cute koalas. Kudelka seems to be saying that these games are distracting us from all the fires and rising water levels.
