later in this episode, scott pelley reports from antarctica on the wide-ranging effects of global warming. and later bob simon has a story from canada on the environmental damage caused by the next great oil rush. but our first story involves a controversial waste product that could have damaging effects on the environment. there are more than 600 coal-fired power plants generating electricity in the u.s., and those plants produce 130 million tons of waste called coal ash. it contains concentrations of mercury, arsenic, lead, and other toxic materials. and as lesley stahl first reported in 2009, when coal ash is dumped into wet ponds--and there are more than 500 of those across the country-- the result can have an enormous health risk on the people living in nearby communities. >> we get about 48%, nearly half of the electricity in this country from coal. >> jim roewer is one of the top lobbyists for the power industry. >> coal is going to be around for a long time. >> and we really can't get rid of coal. >> we shouldn't get rid of coal. >> well, should or shouldn't, we can't, and coal ma

and despite scott pelley's warped media mask there, i think those numbers and the ratings for fox news speak for themselves. there we go again. didn't he just a couple of months ago talk about how his, quote/unquote, house was on fire, he himself admitting many of the things he had gotten wrong? again, it's not so much people get things wrong in the news. that happens in any news cycle where you're rushing to get things on the air. the problem is the -- the pretending of these people, that they are somehow better than the average viewer and better than their competitors. they're not. there's a news flash for you, cbs. >> the irony, too, as he's talking about how, you know, people make mistakes and cable nuts make these mistakes and he owned up to a couple of his own mistakes, he was talking about cable and saying, as far as cable goes, they only have 200,000 viewers. they only have 200, 300,000 viewers. the interviewer specifically asked him, now, that's not true. we have five times that many just on this he show, but they asked him about hannity and o'reilly, two huge powerhouses in n

finally scott pelley knows how to push back against the press. the cbs anchor was ticked off at the new york "post" page 6 for reporting that he had failed to mention a scoop by john miller on allegations that a number of state department officials were soliciting prostitutes because spelly was peeved or so it said that the story had been broken on the morning show. spelly said he just didn't have time on his broadcast and called the reporter and saying it's false. you wouldn't last ten seconds at cbs news. you called my publicist but not me? now, i don't believe scott pelley passed on the story, which was discussed on the next night's cbs evening news. but there is no question he was peeved when he called the paper to complain. scott, we're talking with page six here. >>> that's it for this edition of reliable sources. if you miss a program, go to itunes on monday. check out our podcast, search for reliable sources in the itunes store. and the new day starts at 6:00 a.m. eastern tomorrow. join us again next sunday morning 11:00 a.m., back here w

that is, until march of 2009 when ben bernanke sat down with scott pelley. >> mr. chairman, i'm gonna start with a question that everyone wants me to ask. when does this end? >> it depends a lot on the financial system. the lesson of history is that you do not get a sustained economic recovery as long as the financial system is in crisis. now, we've seen some progress in the financial markets, absolutely, but until we get that stabilized and working normally, we're not gonna see recovery. >> i wonder, do you expect double-digit unemployment? >> well, it's hard to forecast exactly where we're going. unemployment is rising. job losses are still very severe. and, no doubt, the unemployment rate's gonna go higher than it is. but i think, again, that if we do succeed in stabilizing the financial system, that we'll begin to see a slower pace of decline and eventually a stabilization that will set the basis for a recovery. >> ben bernanke, age 55, has been chairman of the federal reserve board since 2006. for our interview, he opened up the fed headquarters, rarely seen b
