It’s 2017 and the world is in waiting as we prepare for a new administration to enter the White House for the next 4 years. While my political position is obvious, I am excited to see a resurgence of activism across the nation and I hope that this activism will be the key in working with peoples from across the globe to save civilization as we know it. The youth is suddenly cognizant of climate change and our precarious position as the biggest energy user and super power.
I haven’t seen youth this interested in decades, and I’m pleased to see them wake up. As Princess Leia said, “Help me Obi-Wan, you’re my only hope!” I’m looking to our youth to make the sacrifices needed and lead the way to a clean energy future.
