...high when the world is facing what might be catastrophic consequences. Even the possibility that human behavior is changing our climate should compel action. American attitudes toward environmental pollution are like our attitudes toward food: we keep shoving pollutants into the atmosphere with the same abandon that we shove junk food into our mouths, even though we know the results will probably be serious.

Most people can't afford to abandon houses built in developments 100 miles out in the countryside when oil was cheap. And although energy and power companies are investing in new technologies, they can't create a massive new infrastructure overnight.
