Blowin' in the Wind

Blowin’ in the Wind – a rewrite by Jen and Steve that discusses renewable energy and fossil fuels as part of the Heating and Cooling challenge.

How many ways can we heat our home
Before we look at our bill
How many times must we turn on the gas
To chase off the winter chill
And how many degrees must the temperature rise
Before we open our eyes

The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind

Yes, and how many years must our gases exist
Before we stop extracting them
And how many degrees will they heat the earth
Before the planet gets deadly warm
Yes, and how many times can we turn our heads
Pretending it won’t do us harm.

The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind

Yes, and how many times can we all look up
And see the energy of the sun
And how many ways can we heat and cool
Without always using carbon
Yes, and how many years will it take us all
For heat pumps to help everyone?
