Clean coal, solar and wind: Will the push for cleaner energy send your power bill sky high?

Americans are addicted to coal - it powers half of our electricity and is plentiful and cheap. In fact, some call America the "Saudi Arabia of Coal." Are we paying too high an environmental price for this cheap energy?

With carbon emissions caps high on the Obama administration's agenda, coal is in the crosshairs of the energy debate. NOW senior correspondent Maria Hinojosa travels to Wyoming to take a hard look at the coal industry and its case that it can produce "clean coal" - coal that can be burned without releasing carbon into the atmosphere. President Obama has been outspoken in his support for "clean coal technology," but some say the whole concept is not much more than a public relations campaign.

As part of the report, Hinojosa talks with Wyoming governor Dave Freudenthal and Jeff Goodell, the author of Big Coal , who says that carbon dioxide emissions generated from coal contribute to global warming.

Can America's cheapest and most plentiful energy resource be produced without burning the environment?
