In just ten years, Jacobson has harnessed passion, determination and science to re-frame the way renewable energy is seen and, ultimately, accepted as a viable solution to climate change and air pollution. If this soup of pollution was hurting me after only a few minutes, I imagined the damage it caused people who lived in it.”

We need to get rid of coal, natural gas and petroleum. Coal, natural gas and petroleum are the culprits here: the burning of these fuels tend to lead to inefficiency. Burning coal is the most polluting way to generate electricity and probably the best way to quickly destroy the world (global warming, anyone?).
