Hour One: New Energy Policy / Diabetes News

This week, the House passed a mammoth energy bill--one that Senator John McCain called a "leave no lobbyist behind" bill. As the vote moves to the Senate, we'll take a look at the energy bill. What's missing, and how will the new bill shape the national energy policy?

Plus, researchers reverse type 1 diabetes in mice: what does that mean for people with the disease? Call in with your questions and comments at 1-800-989-8255 (2-3 Eastern), and share your opinions online in our Listeners' Lounge (registration required).
