Bill McKibben will publish a new book in two weeks: Here Comes the Sun: A Last Chance for the Climate and a Fresh Chance for Civilization. Solar energy is now cheaper than natural gas or wind energy. In our market economy, that means clean solar energy will replace burning dirty fossil fuels sooner or later. This may be our “Last Chance” before tipping points start to spiral global warming out of control. Oil and gas still have a lot of money and power to protect their profits and will fiercely work to delay the inevitable. We must have a people movement to counter them. We must educate people, most of whom who still think solar energy is expensive, that it is, indeed, the cheapest form of energy. Our meeting Tuesday night will be an early step towards that.

Tuesday night, August 5, at 6:30 pm in Howson Hall, we will meet and hear more details on the cost of solar vs. other energy and of a national day to celebrate and educate around solar energy, Sun Day 2025, on and around September 21. We will set people up in teams to make this happen.
