The migration to renewable energy is happening far faster than most people realize, and, to those who somehow can’t see this, I normally suggest simply walking outside and looking around. Of course, that’s a bit glib; what can most people see in their neighborhoods, other than a bit of PV on people’s roofs?
Here’s an idea that can’t miss driving home the point: visit Portugal.

It’s happening all around us.
It will be seven years this summer that we’ve been covering the 
The most obvious feature of the current status of renewable energy generally is the plummeting cost of solar PV and wind energy. Yet, given this, it’s refreshing to see that geothermal is still very much a part of the mainstream clean energy conversation. Here is an announcement from Ormat Technologies, the world’s leader in geothermal with over five decades of experience in this space, in which they announce their latest accomplishment: A substantial geothermal plant in New Zealand on top of their existing 14 geothermal power plants there that produce over 350 MW. 
From a colleague in Central Pennsylvania, the definitive eco-do-it-yourselfer Brain McGowan:
According to a study published in the Journal of Environmental Science & Technology, the average home contains over four hundred unique toxins and chemicals. While it is going to be impossible for your family to avoid all unhealthy substances, there are some strategies that you can use to remove a good percentage of these contaminants from your home. Read ahead for a look at five tips that will help you start detoxifying your home today. 
There are two main benefits to lowering our energy usage in the home. First, as we lessen our consumption we reduce our electricity bills. Second, by lowering our carbon footprint we are helping to preserve natural resources.
