This Election day, Bill Nye has one message for young people: “Vote with the climate in mind.”
aimed at educating voters to choose candidates who champion climate and clean energy. Working in tandem with Climate Power’s Too Hot Not To Vote campaign, Nye has urged voters to cast their ballot for Vice President Kamala Harris — who delivered the tie-breaking vote to pass the Inflation Reduction Act and has called theabout the political power of the nation’s youth, why he’s supporting the Harris-Walz ticket, and how the next U.S. will shape our planet’s future.
What’s the major driver behind Trump and his allies’ intent to kill the Clean Energy Plan and roll back environmental protections? They grew up with it. So I grew up with Earth Day, and when Earth Day was created, everybody’s concern was pollution. That humankind was making the environment dirty, toxic chemicals. You’ve probably heard the expression, “forever plastics,” that was a big concern. But since then, climate change has been discovered, and so Millennials and Gen Z have had climate change in the background their entire lives. It wasn’t something discovered in their lifetime, it was before they were born.
When you’re speaking to young people across the country, what is their Number One concern when it comes to the environment? And the big idea in addressing climate change is to do two things: Reduce the amount of electricity or energy that we need, and at the same time, make more electricity. So work the problem from both ends. We have the technologies to do this, and we also have the technologies not just to produce it, but now to store it. These extraordinary new battery designs that are much more massive, heavier and less energy dense than the one in your phone. The future is exciting.
