Climate Change and Clean Energy

Modern society is addicted to fossil fuels because we're quite literally dependent on the energy they provide for our survival. We've always known that we're slowly depleting a finite resource that can't possibly last forever yet we never seem to take seriously the risk that it might run out someday. In order for our species to survive we need a credible plan to replace fossil fuels with abundant clean energy which won't pollute our atmosphere with greenhouse gases. But as any recovering alcoholic or drug addict will tell you, talking about breaking an addiction and having a credible plan are two very different things.
