Dave’s Interview by Ian Masters (Background Briefing)

“Then on the day that Peabody Energy, the world’s largest privately-owned coal producer files for bankruptcy, when we learn that the Koch Brother and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell have killed clean energy tax credits for geothermal, small wind, fuel cells and combined heat, we speak with an energy insider David Freeman who headed the TVA, New York Power and the LA DWP. He joins us to discuss how the dirty fossil fuel industry is determined to kill alternative energy even if they kill the planet in the process.”

Ralph Nader Interviews S. David Freeman

“The U.S. has some big problems that require bold solutions. Unfortunately, books about solutions to our society’s problems are often given short shrift by reviewers or languish on our bookshelves. As I often say, this country has more problems than it deserves and more solutions than it uses. Now comes S. David Freeman.”   RALPH NADER, Consumer advocate, lawyer and author
