William Wordsworth would have had us wonder at the power and beauty of nature. It is now, finally, becoming apparent that we are getting that message. Instead of drilling and digging for our power, with all of the attendant environmental nightmares that accompany that, or fissioning it, a manifestly dangerous and wasteful process, we are learning how to work with nature and its bounty. As the late Barry Commoner would’ve said, we are finally “making peace with the planet.”
