With one of the suspects dead in the Boston bombings and his brother in a hospital bed, investigators now are set with the task of unraveling their actions. Clare Lopez, former C.I.A agent, was live today on Comment Please by Univest. Lopez says it’s likely the brothers had help due to the scope of the attacks.

Today is Earth Day. Author of the book “Eco Mind” Frances Moore Lappe says, lobbying is standing in the way of clean energy.

“We’re now subsidizing dirty energy. Instead of what we want, 76-precent of us want clean energy. So I see Earth Day to go in to the heart of the problem.”

“On an international ranking where money has the worst influence, where governments really have kept the power of wealth out of the political system, Germany ranks highest in the world. We rank near the bottom in terms of letting dirty energy have too much influence.”

Frances Moore Lappe was a guest Monday Morning with Darryl Berger on WNPV'S
