Bill McKibben Author Talk
2025-10-08 18:00 - 19:30 | Center for the Arts Crested Butte, 606 6th Street, Crested Butte, CO, 81224
Acclaimed environmentalist Bill McKibben, author of more than 20 books, comes to Crested Butte with his latest release, Here Comes the Sun: A Last Chance for the Climate and a Fresh Chance for Civilization. McKibben, is one of the first to sound the alarm about the climate crisis and insists this moment is also full of possibility. Energy from the sun and wind is suddenly the cheapest power on the planet and growing faster than any energy source in history-if we can keep accelerating the pace, we have a chance. In the last two years, Bill McKibben traced the arrival of plentiful, inexpensive solar energy and shows how solar power is more than just a path out of the climate crisis: it is a chance to reorder the world on saner and more humane grounds. You can’t hoard solar energy or hold it in reserves-it’s available to all. There’s no guarantee we can make this change in time, but there is a hope-in McKibben’s eyes, our best hope for a new civilization: one that looks up to the sun, every day, as the star that fuels our world.
