G-7 leaders last weekend committed to stop funding new coal-fired power plants abroad by the end of the year.

The World’s environment correspondent Carolyn Beeler reports on why politics and energy policies in the US and Japan are preventing the world’s richest countries from sending a powerful signal about the future of energy.
