“We, the human species, are confronting a planetary emergency… We have everything we need to get started, save perhaps political will, but political will is a renewable resource.”
– Al Gore, Nobel Lecture, 12/10/2007
Gore was absolutely right. Right now in Washington, DC, lawmakers are sorely lacking the political will to do much of anything about climate change.
With this blog, I’m going to cover the day-to-day ins and outs of DC’s political fights about climate change, renewable energy, energy efficiency and other green issues.
The hope is that by the time I’m sick and tired of blogging, our country will have summoned the political will to tackle the “planetary emergency” Gore has worked so hard to warn us about.
Enjoy!
