Interview with Clean Air Program's John Walke

Earlier this week it was announced that Columbus-based American Electric Power has agreed to pay more than $4 billion to reduce pollution produced by its coal-fired power plants. Environmentalists blame the pollution for eating away at northeast mountain ranges and even some national landmarks -- including the Statue of Liberty. For more on what this settlement means for Ohio, ideastream's Eric Wellman spoke with John Walke, the director of the Clean Air Program with Natural Resources Defense Council.
