Is 2016 going to be the 'year of action' for the environment?

With the recent agreement at the Paris climate talks, activists hope 2016 is a year of action on climate change.

The talks also yielded big promises to make better use of renewable energy, which could see even more of a boom in Minnesota in 2016 than it did in 2015.

Tom Weber speaks with explorer and native Minnesotan Will Steger about his thoughts on where the climate change action will be had in 2016. Weber also speaks with three guests about how the Paris climate talks could affect renewable energy in Minnesota: University of Minnesota professor Elizabeth Wilson; state Representative Melissa Hortman; and Betsy Engelking, the president of Geronimo Energy.
