When Your Science Runs Into A Policy

There's Something Really Happening And Really Moving, And It's Exciting And It Makes Me Very Optimistic Because It Is Going To Be The Engine For How We Really Combat Climate Change. Which Is Strong Communities.

There Are Regulations All Over The Spectrum That Have To Be Done To The Existing Situation Right Now. But The Only Policy That Makes Sense Is A Nationwide Moratorium: No New Fracking, No New Fracked Wells.

What We've Got Is The Wholesale Embrace Of Fracking Domestically, Internationally And For Export. And This Couldn't Be Further From What We Really Need To Do To Address Climate Change.

It Is An Incredibly Hopeful Experience Watching Communities Come Together And Actually Reassemble Democracy. The Democracy's Been Taken Away From Us. But They're Reinventing Democracy Out There In Rural Pennsylvania, In Philadelphia, In Pittsburgh.

I Have To Have Faith That We're Going To Succeed In Transforming Where We Get Our Energy From. The Big Worry Is Whether Or Not We're Going To Do It Before It's Too Late. And I Think Nobody Knows The Answer To That.
