In his latest State of the Union address, President Obama once again called natural gas a "bridge" to the clean energy future. But because natural gas strips investment away from renewables, opponents worry the resource is not the panacea the industry claims.

We'll take a nuanced look at dynamics in the natural gas market with Tanuj Deora, an energy strategist with IHS, and ask whether it's helpful or harmful to renewable energy.

The Gang will also break down the energy and climate piece of Obama's State of the Union speech, as well as dissecting the forces behind the booming solar jobs market.
