“Back to the Future Day” happened this week. The Chicago Cubs play off bid notwithstanding, the movie nostalgia gives clear-eyed Climate Hawks a chance to think forward thirty years and imagine what 2045 might look like. It is important to remember that what we do now will influence what happens in the future, just as we wish that someone had taken bold action back in the '80s. It is our turn to be that someone.

The reading list:

• Thoughts from Climate Central
• MA's Pilgrim Nuclear replacement will be retiring in 2045. What should that look like?
• The future is what we make it!

Because we recognize the necessity of personal accountability for our actions, because we accept responsibility for building a durable future and because we believe it is our patriotic duty as citizens to speak out, we must insist that the United States put a price on carbon.

Thanks for listening.
