I am in utmost sympathy with your concerns, Jeanne. We have been warned about this for decades, long enough for the producers of oil, gas, plastics, and internal combustion engines to create and spread lies and fill the pockets of lobbyists and politicians with bribes. If only we could persuade voters that they are being deceived by these lies and elect people who will push for reasonable solutions. Yes, it is expensive and if we had started building this infrastructure 30 years ago, the cost would be more bearable. Now it is going to take every nickel we can squeeze out of taxpayers for the next 30 years to save our planet.
Years ago, Bill McKibben opened my eyes to climate issues and more. I believe he was speaking at Davidson College at the time. Appreciate his wisdom and writings. And thank you, too
Thank you for addressing this issue/crisis, Jeanne. I met Bill McKibben years ago too, in an all day workshop on climate. Sounded so hopeful in that once we all realized the devastation that was occurring all people would come together and wake up! It is a sad commentary on our priorities. Thank you for waking me up a bit more.
