Can Obama Save the Planet? (2009x6)

Air date: Nov 25, 2009

Justin Rowlatt reports on whether President Obama is on target to keep his climate-change promises. Travelling across the States, using public transport only, Justin encounters coal miners and car manufacturers; activists and politicians; a pig farmer and a film star. He goes ice-fishing in Michigan, finds a thriving wind industry in the oil state of Texas and, in Detroit, drives a test car of the future.
