Leslie is joined by Anthony Swift, an attorney at the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), where he works with their international program on tar sands development, the proposed Keystone XL tar sands pipeline and other energy issues.

They discuss the oil train derailment that happened in West Virginia on Monday. "A wrecked train hauling millions of pounds of oil continued burning in West Virginia on Tuesday, a day after it derailed in a snowstorm and sent fireballs ripping through the air. The derailment prompted the evacuation of nearby villages and dumped crude oil into a river, forcing the shut-off of local water supplies."
