“What if, every time we flipped a light switch at home, a mountain exploded in

West Virginia; or every time we turned on the air conditioner in summer, a child

suffered an asthma attack; or when we turned up the heat, the entire planet was warming… and what if, instead of all that,

we had a choice of something better? What choice would you make?”

“I’ve heard it said that when you do things the way you always have, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten. Today we’ve got

global warming, air pollution, and all sorts of human health problems that are tied to the way we generate electricity… how can we possibly afford to build all these new power plants? There’s got to be a better

way.”
