Harm reduction has been gaining support, mostly in liberal cities and states. If harm reduction can keep people from dying of a drug overdose, should we apply the same logic to other tough problems? Think about this one: Human beings all over the globe are using more and more electricity. Producing that electricity typically creates a lot of pollution and greenhouse gases. Cleaner energy sources like solar and wind power don't have nearly the capacity to meet the demand. So is it time to think of a good solution? Is it time to apply harm reduction to energy policy?
Liberals endorse harm reduction when it comes to the opioid epidemic. Are they ready to take the same approach to climate change?
