SUMMARY:Conservation Committee Book Discussion 1 pm Higher Grounds
DESCRIPTION:The Conservation Committee invites everyone to the next book discussion on April 23 at 1 p.m. at Higher Grounds in Freeport.\nWe will be discussing Bill McKibben’s latest book “Here Comes the Sun: A Last Chance for the Climate and a Fresh Chance for Civilization.”\nMcKibben, a long-time environmental activist and author, was one of the first to sound the alarm about the climate crisis.\nIn his latest book, he asserts that the present moment is also full of possibility.\nEnergy from the sun and wind is now the cheapest power on the planet and growing faster than any energy source in history. The challenge is to keep accelerating the pace of transition.\nHere Comes the Sun tells the story of the sudden spike in power from the sun and wind–and the efforts by the fossil fuel industry and their politicians to slow the transition to clean renewable energy.\nMcKibben gives us an overview of how we arrived at the present moment with the burning of fossil fuels, how wind and solar actually work and reviews the present danger we face with climate change.\nHe addresses the common questions and doubts we hear when talking about transitioning to renewable energy – can we afford it, can poor nations afford it, do we have enough land, do we have the materials we need – and provides compelling affirmative answers based on facts.\n
