Anyone who would tackle our current addiction to fossil fuels is going to have to maneuver around denial.

Carbon-free energy is simply something we have to do. The time for talk is past. If we turn around net carbon emissions by 2020 rather than 2040, we get another 2° of fever rather than 3° - and that's a big difference.

If we don't start thinking big about the CO2 problem, we may miss our opportunity to stop a climate runaway that will trash the habitable parts of the earth.

Our CO2 mixes with everyone else's within a year, then hangs around for centuries like a shroud.

Trusting your energy policy to the fossil fuel lobby is like trusting your health care system to the tobacco lobby.
