The Power Hour | Special Edition: What’s Going on With This Government Shutdown (er, slowdown)?

<p>The Power Hour is a weekly podcast that discusses the most interesting energy and environmental policy issues of the day with top national experts.&nbsp;Sometimes we step outside of our comfort zone to bring you analysis of a pressing current event or news story.&nbsp;In this episode, Jack sits down with Richard Stern, Director of the Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget at The Heritage Foundation to discuss what’s going on with the potential budget impasse and government shutdown.&nbsp;He helps us to understand what is (or more accurately, what is not) at stake.&nbsp;He tells us how we got here and what we need to do moving forward.
