FRIEDMAN REPORTING, a one-hour special offering a timely and in-depth presentation about one of today′s most pressing issues -- the political, economic and environmental consequences of America′s fossil fuel dependence and ways to solve it.
With gas prices averaging over $3.00 a gallon across the United States and the cost of the war on terror mounting, topics such as energy conservation, global warming and alternative energy have never been more relevant to American economic and national security.
In ADDICTED TO OIL Friedman brings his signature deep reporting and incisive analysis to the political, strategic and economic impact of America′s fossil fuel addiction and proposes business, technological and governmental solutions for beating it.
The one-hour special reflects Discovery Channel′s commitment to go beyond superficial news coverage with programming that provides credible, insider views of the most pressing issues in the world today.
