put us at more of a risk with climate change

Why is risk assumed? If the planet is in a warming cycle there isn't much we can do about it. Things change, you gotta go with it.

But that doesn't mean we shouldn't explore alternate sources of energy. We can keep the money here at home instead of bankrolling sheiks and jihadis.

The parts of the article that interested me were the new coalitions being formed and the emphasis on grass roots lobbying at the local level. I wish Jerome Ringo well, but he has a lot of obstacles to overcome. Environmentalism is still seen as little more than bourgeois honky angst by a lot of people.
