Amish E-Bikes, Balcony Solar, and a Djibouti Wind Boom

E-bikes are quietly transforming Amish communities, balcony solar panels are powering up UK homes, and the tiny African nation of Djibouti is making huge renewable energy strides. Plus, Brian returns from London with fresh eyes on electric taxis, streetcars, and some eyebrow-raising climate solutions.

We explore how indoor air quality is the our new air quality frontier.

Bill Gates is backing a new kind of wind energy. Plus, climate change delivers catastrophic floods to Texas.
