Matt Pawa visits NCS, and after solving a bad phone connection, talks about the lack of any proposed environmental requirements on the auto makers in return for their proposed lifeline. Matt wants the automakers to stop fighting the Pavley case (in which states' rights to establish greenhouse gas restrictions is not superceded by federal requirements). Also, Leo dispenses some year end financial planning recommendations, and Gary Edmondson of Urban Harvest describes how you can learn about food security as an issue and do something about it - in your own backyard.
