Today on The Environment Report...  

You might be able to get some cash 
for your rusty old car.  Tamara Keith 
reports that Congress is kicking around 
a "cash for clunkers" program - you 
could trade in your rust bucket for 
a much more fuel efficient car.  The 
hope is that the program will jumpstart 
the American auto industry.  

And... the U.S. is in the middle 
of a huge transition in terms of where 
we get energy and how we use it.  Some 
business leaders predict these changes 
will be disastrous for the economy.  
Lester talks about these concerns with 
Tom Lyon, the Director of the Erb Institute 
for Global Sustainable Enterprise.
