You'd be amazed what you can do if you try

I recently wrote about how proponents of comprehensive climate change and clean energy legislation need to come up with a simpler and clearer narrative. But such a narrative obviously needs more detail as the conversation gets further into the weeds. I've written a lot about the need for action based on the science. In addition I've had a few posts on the economic and national security cases for acting urgently. One angle I really haven't delved into as much I would have liked is the technology aspect of this debate. The technology is obviously available to us and we are starting to see that with the right policies we can deploy these resources on a much larger scale that will result in a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) and an increase in new jobs.

So this begs the question, why aren't we trying harder?
