Leaders of the world’s eight most industrialized countries kicked of the G8 summit in Tokyo today. Rising food and fuel prices are at the top of the agenda, along with global emissions policies. Back at home, presumed presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama are competing to ease voters anxieties about the same issues.

With energy costs and environmental policy in the forefront of this election, Word of Mouth turns to Michael Kanellos to sort out what the candidates are saying on these issues. Michael is senior policy analyst at Greentech Media and – until recently -- he wrote about green technology for CNet.com.

This segment is part of Word of Mouth's Next Green Thing series.
