• Three climate-wise business minds. MPR News chief meteorologist Paul Huttner hosts a roundtable with Laura Bishop, chief sustainability officer for Best Buy, Adam Fetcher, vice president of environmental impact and policy for Askov Finlayson, and Chris Farrell, economics editor with Marketplace Money.

• Your carbon-free dream car is right around the corner.

GM, Toyota and Volkswagen are also expanding electric offerings, aiming for consumers who want luxury, performance and an SUV body style.
