"Fuel Sheridan Hollow with renewable energy," Nov. 25, says, "leave the fossil fuels in the ground." That's true. How can we make that happen? We need national legislation with a global impact to fight climate change and air pollution.

Not only will clean energy provide about five times as many jobs as fossil fuels, already employing more Americans than oil, gas and coal combined, but air pollution costs the global economy more than $4.6 trillion annually and kills more than 9 million people each year. Carbon pollution kills more than 200,000 Americans annually and costs $866.5 billion per year in medical bills.
