Plug-in Hybrids: Renewable Energy Solution of the Month

This video inaugurates a new series, that will augment, but not replace, “Climate Denial Crock of the Week”.

Many people seem to think dealing with climate change will bring poverty and limit human development.  The truth may be exactly the opposite.
