- 1.) Host Bruce Robertson discusses Saratoga County's recent plans to let a coal burning plant be built in the area. Robertson talks with protesters from both sides, including state assemblyman Neil Kellaher, who believes the environmental damage the plant would cause is too great for it to be built. 2.)Next, Robertson discusses the recent passage of the Clean Air bill in the Senate. He talks with Bill Fay, of the Clean Air Working Group, who believes the bill goes too far and will cost taxpayers too many jobs and too much money. He also talks with Richard Ayers, of the National Clean Air Coalition, who believes that the bill does not go far enough, and that more provisions are needed. Robertson also speaks with Chris Ballantyne, director of the northeast regional Sierra Club, who is lobbying for the bill's passage. 4.)
