GLIN==> The Environment Report for 03.30.09

Today, on The Environment Report...  

The government is forcing the automakers to 
build more fuel efficient cars and trucks.  
Federal fuel economy standards are being 
raised.  Not a lot, but it's the first time 
they've been raised in a long time.  

And the first part in our week-long look at 
the future of coal.  Lester Graham looks at 
the claims and counter claims going out over 
the airwaves.  What is "clean  coal"?  And 
who's behind the campaigns to polish up the 
black rock - and who's behind the campaigns 
to debunk the "clean coal" term?
