Bill McKibben | The Resistance to Trump Will Be Local  Bill McKibben, The Nation   McKibben writes: "Whenever progress is blocked in Washington, the pressure for progress always finds other outlets. During the George W. Bush administration, for instance, environmentalists looked to state and local governments for action on climate change, and the result was a slew of commitments that helped build the renewable-energy industry."   READ MORE The Federal Government Just Shut Down.
