Coal is a plentiful energy source. However, it is riddled with problems: namely worker safety & heavy pollution. But with coal as plentiful as it is, it's unlikely we'll discontinue its use. Can coal use be made safer, cleaner & more green? Find out when Robert Colangelo interviews John Mead, Director of the Coal Research Center at Southern Illinois University/Carbondale. The Coal Research Center was established in 1974 to stimulate and coordinate efforts to improve the efficiency of coal mining and coal use.

They're also pushing for the use of clean energy technologies like natural gas, hydrogen and nuclear to create jobs, stimulate the economy and improve the quality of the environment. However, the coal, oil and gas industries are run by powerful interests that do not want to give up their day in the sun. How will future energy policies look in light of the President's State of the Union address containing many mentions of green initiatives? Robert's guests this week include:

Nate Gorence with the Bipartisan Policy Center

He's part of a think tank established by former Senate Majority Leaders Howard Baker, Tom Daschle, Bob Dole and George Mitchell. The Center aims to develop and promote solutions that can attract public support and political momentum in order to achieve progress in many initiatives, including energy.

Michael Kanellos of GreenTech Media

He's a popular and knowledgeable journalist in the area of green technology and provides his insightful observations on energy in the US, especially after President Obama's state of the union address.

Plus, the GreenPlate Special with Melissa Ritter.
