When You're Cornered, There Are Two Things

It's Remarkable To Watch The President, With All The Weight Of His Ability To Command Rhetoric With The Bully Pulpit Behind Him, Make A Clear Speech About Climate Change And Why That's So Important For Us All To Focus On. And That Is A Rather Remarkable Thing To See. It's Enormously Powerful.

I Think That The World Is In The Middle Of A Huge Transition That We Have To Make To Renewable Energy. We Have To Transition Away From Fossil Fuels Very, Very Quickly.

In A Couple Of Decades You Have Half Of The Wells That Are Drilled Right Now, And You're Talking About Numbers In The Millions Of Wells Drilled, Leaking. That's A Huge Crisis In Terms Of Water Contamination. There's No Way To Fix That Problem.

The First Line In The First Gasland Is: “i’m Not A Pessimist. I’ve Always Had A Great Deal Of Faith In People That We Won’t Succumb To Frenzy Or Rage Or Greed. That We’ll Figure Out A Solution Without Destroying The Things That We Love.” I Have Not Lost That Sense.

For Those People Who Are Going To Tune In Strictly For The Pyrotechnics, We Have Better And Bigger Explosions. That's A Prerequisite Of Any Sequel. But In Terms Of This, What We're Really Monitoring Is Watching The Gas Industry Light Our Institutions, Light Our Regulatory Agencies, Light Our Democracy On Fire.
