This week, Earthbeat puts an ear to the ground -- and listens to history.

Co-host Mike Tidwell speaks to acclaimed author Edwin Black. In his previous work "IBM and the Holocaust" he uncovered the links between the computer giant and the Nazi regime. In his latest work Black has uncovered documents proving how corrupt corporations derailed clean affordable electric transportation in the United States. His book "Internal Combustion" is subtitled, "How Corporations and Governments Addicted the World to Oil and Derailed the Alternatives."
