We're living through oil wars, wildfire smoke and extreme weather driven by a warming planet. But environmentalist Bill McKibben says one thing is finally going right: the price of clean energy has plunged, making it cheaper than ever to power the world without burning fossil fuels. He breaks down how energy from the sun became the best option on Earth -- and why this narrow window of time may be our last real shot at a different future. "Energy from heaven, not from hell," he says. 我们正经历着石油战争、野火烟雾,以及全球变暖引发的极端天气。但环保主义者比尔·麦吉本(Bill McKibben)指出,有一件事终于走上了正轨:清洁能源的价格大幅下降,让不燃烧化石燃料为世界供电变得比以往任何时候都更加便宜。他详细分析了太阳能如何成为地球上最佳选择——以及为什么这个稍纵即逝的时间窗口,可能是我们实现不同未来的最后一次真正机会。“来自天堂的能量,而非来自地狱,”他说道。
