Join a live online conversation with climate journalist and activist Bill McKibben, author of a new book on the promise of clean energy, Here Comes the Sun: A Last Chance for the Climate and a Fresh Chance for Civilization.
After decades of being considered “alternative energy,” solar and wind power are now firmly mainstream — and the cheapest sources of new electricity. Renewable energy is ascendant globally, but many people may not realize its astonishing scale or potential. McKibben will join Canary Media’s Alison F. Takemura to discuss how solar and wind benefit communities; how they transform energy security around the globe; what’s needed to overcome political headwinds and misinformation; and how to take part in Sun Day, an upcoming day of action for clean energy.
