Neither the failure of global and US climate policy nor the emergence of other pressing issues changes the facts about climate and energy. The build-up of greenhouse bases in the atmosphere continues unabated, and its environmental and human costs are mounting. Business as usual is unsustainable over the long run.

Globally, more than 100 nations have established renewable energy targets. Their business model dictates that they pursue the lowest-cost power source and charge the highest premiums they can for the product in an open, but federally controlled, market. In contrast, imagine the public outcry if the cost of gasoline varied from $3.00

The combination of harvesting whole forests and burning long-sequestered carbon sources such as coal or oil has impaired the Earth’s carbon cycle at an increasing pace. Globally, billions of people are using this ancient grid as installed, but the enormous potential of the grid is untapped—we could be getting much more energy from it.
