Critics of renewables often say that we cannot possibly replace the vast amount of fossil fuel we currently use with clean energy.
The good news is that we don’t have to. My article in Medium explains why.

Because fossil fuels are so wasteful, going from fossil fuels to electricity will on its own save huge amounts of energy. This dramatically reduces the amount of renewable energy we need to build compared to today.

He absolutely can prevent 42 million Americans — including 20 million children — from going hungry next month.
He is choosing not to. Don’t let him lie his way out of this.
