Americans seem to be driving less and switching to more fuel-efficient cars -- but what is Congress doing to help address our nation's energy problems? In this segment, Ira talks with senators John Warner and Jeff Bingaman about energy policy topics including offshore drilling, alternative energy, and even lowering the speed limit. Can legislators from both sides of the aisle work together to deal with the energy crisis?
