CLIMATE HOUR – Current political trends are making it harder and harder to express climate optimism. Not only are countries failing to meet their Paris Climate Treaty commitments, but recent elections have given climate deniers control of many governments. The prospect for significant climate action through legislation is dimming. But the potential for economic solutions to climate change are growing. Electricity produced from renewable wind and solar is now cheaper than that from fossil fuels. The operation and maintenance of electric vehicles now costs significantly less that traditional cars and trucks. It is no longer just a question of health and sustainability. It is now also a question of profitability.
Join host, Bob Grove, and Tam Hunt to discuss the case for climate optimism and green energy law.
