photo via 350.org Big props to David Letterman for bringing on Bill McKibben earlier this week to talk to Letterman’s 4 million nightly viewers about global climate change and Bill’s 350.org project . 350.org has a savvy campaign to get the White House to put solar panels back on the roof after Ronald Reagen had them taken off in the 80s. Dave asked some sharp questions about nuclear power and political inaction, and Bill, as always, was ready with sharper answers that added some hope to the fight for an energy revolution. … Read the full story on TreeHugger
