Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich spends four of five days in Iowa on a 17 city tour promoting a big conversation on the nation's future. He calls for shifting power from Washington to more Americans and advancing an American energy plan including coal natural gas nuclear wind solar and biofuels. He notes ethanol's growth and argues to protect it from threats while signaling comfort with a sparse GOP field and warns that four more years of Obama would push the country left with debt.
