"Hopscotching the world for cleantech headlines this morning, I came upon an
op-ed in the
New York Times by David Wallace-Wells, who has written
extensively on climate change and the politics of energy. He thinks the current
war in Iran is a harbinger of something bigger — a recognition by all concerned
that fossil fuels are the past, while renewables are the future.
And why not? Despite the protestations of fossil fuel freaks like Chris Wright
about how they have lifted millions out of poverty, they have also killed and
maimed millions more, not only in wars but in the environmental pollution that
sickens people and causes the untimely death of many more every year.
If any readers are in doubt about the unendurable pain left behind when someone
dies in warfare, I highly recommend
Shrapnel In The Heart, a book by Laura
Palmer in which the author interviews the families of those whose names appear
on The Wall in Washington, DC. If their stories do not rip your heart out and
reduce you to tears, you might be Pete Hegseth’s twin brother."
