The American Electric Power corporate headquarters building is seen April 29, 2004, in Columbus, Ohio.
One of the nation's biggest coal-fired plants has settled a lengthy lawsuit over acid rain. The state of Vermont was one of the plaintiffs in the case. We look at the toll - and the lessons from the settlement. And, we examine the science behind acid rain, and why it's not talked about much anymore.

Also, we look at what a high bond rating means for the state of Vermont. And, we join kids at Rumney School in Middlesex, as they make and eat zucchini fritters.
