This is part of a special series designed to help the public examine important topics that the top presidential candidates are talking about, and compare what was said and done by past presidents and administrations. In this installment, we look at energy and the environment. We use contemporary campaign tape from the Republican and Democratic nominees, as well as archival presidential tape going back decades. We also invite a diverse group of voters into our studios to listen to the tape we gathered, then fold their reactions and reflections into the story.
