When Your Science Runs Into A Policy

I Think 'gasland' Is The Doorway For A Lot Of People To See Something Happening In Their Backyard And Realize The National And Global Implications.

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's Remarkable To Watch The President, With All The Weight Of His Ability To Command Rhetoric With The Bully Pulpit Behind Him, Make A Clear Speech About Climate Change And Why That's So Important For Us All To Focus On. And That Is A Rather Remarkable Thing To See. It's Enormously Powerful.

I Don't Believe We're Only Motivated By Our Own Self-interests. Often Out Of Crisis Comes This Enormous Wellspring Of Generosity And Motivation.
