<p>"If we can cut the use of fossil fuels, it puts money in
our pockets....I believe those folks who say we can't address the
problem, that it's too expensive, that it will hurt the economy,
have a profoundly pessimistic view about human creativity, about
our capacity to work together and collectively for the greater good
and for future generations."<br /><br />—John Sterman<br /><br /></p>
