One current and one former coal miner have very different reactions to President Trump’s energy order. Also: Christiana Figueres, one of the main architects of the Paris Climate Agreement, tells us why she thinks relaxing environmental regulations is bad for the US economy; a formerly rich city comes up with a unique plan to regain its former glory; beer brewers and hop growers adapt to climate change; and Siervas, a band of rocking nuns from Peru, closes out the show. (Image: Nick Mullins, a former coal miner, says “Some days… mining could be really enjoyable...but I know the costs in the long run, and I know that the good times never lasted.” Credit: Courtesy of Nick Mullins)
