Winkelman says its time for America to “buy that ticket” and reduce gas demand
Steve Winkelman, the director of transportation and adaptation programs at the Center for Clean Air Policy (CCAP), recalls a joke his grandmother used to tell him about a man who wants to win the lottery but never actually goes out and buys a ticket. Winkelman says that America needs to “buy that ticket” if the country wants to insulate itself from oil price shocks and protect its communities from the impacts of global warming. He also says that Americans have to remember to “ask the climate question” to figure out their vulnerability to the impacts of climate change. (0:37)
