While we were debating if global warming was real, it started

As literally-minded pundits are pointing out, fossil fuels are not really made of dinosaurs. Nevertheless, we’ve been borrowing energy from the past, sending the bill to the future. To our kids.

Now, the consequences of climate change are coming to you. Not just to your region or your government. But your business, your home, the career choices of your kids and the way you live everyday life.

Learn why there's an urgent need to act and reform our energy practices now.
