 Day two of Midday's special series Power Ahead focuses on fossil fuels. During the first hour we look at coal with Robert Bryce, author of Power Hungry: The Myths of Green Energy and The Real Fuels of the Future, Bill McKibben, leading environmentalist and award-winning author of The End of Nature and Richard Heinberg, peak-oil expert, author and senior fellow, Post Carbon Institute.

 Midday begins a week of daily programming devoted to one of the most urgent matters facing people of Maryland, the United States and planet Earth -- our energy problems and solutions. The week begins with a look at energy consumption and sustainability.
