McKibben email exchange in The Bridge
August 24, 2013
Post Carbon Fellow Bill McKibben took part in an email exchange with Amy Brooks Thornton at The Bridge.
From the exchange:
Amy Brooks Thornton: What are the energy solution models and innovations (financial, social, environmental, political, technical), in this country and internationally, that excite you and that you could see being replicated here in Vermont?
Bill McKibben: I’m excited by things happening at scale. Germany has shown that we can do renewables at scale. Some days this summer they generated more than half their power from solar panels, and they’re doing even more wind power. We need renewables to be the rule, not the exception.
