This week on BGOV’s Capital Impact show hosted by Allen Scott:

Natural Gas is perceived as plentiful and cheap because of the shale gas revolution. Despite abundant supplies, plenty of thought still needs to be given to compressed natural gas as a gasoline alternative. Bloomberg Government Energy Analyst Rob Barnett tackles those issues in his latest piece: Natural Gas: America’s Alternative to Gasoline. Hurdles to Adoption and Potential Impact on Gasoline.
With the Inauguration behind us we get down to the business of government, and what it means to the staples of society. Housing, jobs and the debt limit are the three topics that we’ll tackle with Senior Economic Analyst Dr. Nela Richardson. She’ll give us a look into 2013 with what the future holds for each.
