“If there’s one problem facing the story of renewable energy among American progressives, it is the grimness of the vibe. Renewables, as the story goes, are necessary to fight climate change, save the planet, and do our duty to our fellow living creatures. These things are, of course, all true. But the delivery feels like urging people to eat their vegetables. Yes, it will be good for you and will create new jobs, but any sense of green energy making life better and more exciting feels out of reach. … what if that story was wrong and renewable energy isn’t just a righteous yet painful solution to our problems? What if it was the herald of the greatest revolution in energy since the steam engine?” (12/22/25)
