Erin Brockovich talks environmental issues, new novel

Erin Brockovich's 1992 legal fight against Pacific Gas & Electric Co., a company that poisoned the water supply in Hinckley, California, was brought to the world's attention through the film that tells her story and shares her name.

Since then, Brockovich has continued to campaign for the environment, and she now owns her own consulting firm. Brockovich has recently written a fictional thrilled about nuclear energy entitled "Hot Water."

Carol Costello sits down with Brockovich on American Morning today to discuss the environmental issues that the world is facing today and to weigh in on how well politicians are tackling the problems.
