Lester Brown discusses "Plan B" his monstrously transformative ideas for climate stabilization and hunger reduction.
Brown lays out a detailed plan and shows how we can do it comparing it to what was accomplished industrially when the U.S. entered WWII.
"that means building about a million and a half more producing two megawatts each: 3 million megawatts in global wind generating capacity. But a million and a half wind turbines over a dozen years is peanuts compared with producing 65 million cars a year, which we do now."
