Senate Budget Chairman Kent Conrad (D-N.D.) talks about the New Era Bill that has been created by the “Gang of 10” in an effort to reduce gas prices, lessen the nation’s dependence on foreign oil, and strengthen America’s economy. Conrad says that the group has 84 billion dollars ready to move the nation from a dependency on oil to alternatives. He says that the bill has a goal of having 85 percent of America’s cars and trucks transitioned to alternative fuels - a dramatic statement according to Conrad. (1:18)
