Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Virginia’s new governor says he wants the commonwealth to be the East Coast’s energy capital. Robert McDonnell wasted little time, calling in his first week in office to lease offshore property for oil and gas exploration. We get a geological perspective on Virginia’s likely oil reserves, and explore the political debate in Richmond.
