At some point, the momentum behind the electric vehicle will be irresistible. At that point, subsidies will need to be reduced, and private market forces will help complete the transition over time.

While fossil fuels are in decline, there is no reason that fossil fuel companies cannot adjust and play a part in the transition to an environmentally sustainable economy.

Global environmental sustainability is a fundamental challenge that requires learning and hard work across many problems and possible solutions.

Joe Biden is providing America with inspiring and strategic climate and economic leadership.

Following four years of Trump’s climate denial, the Biden administration has gone all in and is starting to articulate a comprehensive climate policy.

While last week was wrenching, the electoral results in Georgia, the courage of many Republican elected officials, and the silencing of Trump’s Twitter account give us reason to hope that better days lie ahead.

Biden’s climate team could use normal executive power to emphasize renewable energy in the Department of Defense, and graduate students at Columbia University have provided a blueprint to jumpstart that process.

We owe the young climate activists our attention and support.

Climate change requires nothing less than transforming the nature of economic production and consumption: Not to consume less, but to consume without destroying the planet that sustains us.
