As we move to a 100% clean energy future, keep in mind that we will need to add windmills and PV to make the power to charge our cars and heat our homes in addition to just ‘keeping the lights on.” These new uses will demand lots of new windmills and solar panels each year, more than we are currently planning.

The reading list:

• Electrify everything
• Narwhale chart
• Commonwealth Magazine on decarbonization
• Mayflower Wind wins contract

Because we recognize the necessity of personal accountability for our actions, because we accept responsibility for a building a durable future and because we believe it is our patriotic duty as citizens to speak out, we must insist the United States transform it’s energy sector, over the next decade, under a just and equitable plan, that uses regulations, investments and a price on carbon to safeguard our collective future.

Thanks for listening.
