| When the financial bailout plan was announced earlier this week, why did the price of oil shoot up? In this segment, we'll take a look at energy and our economy, including the latest on the renewable energy tax credit extended by the Senate this week. Plus with energy prices a top issue this season, we'll get a roundup of other current energy news -- from new stores specializing in solar energy, to those television ads featuring cars running on natural gas. |
