Eve Driver and Tom Osborn, Harvard College classmates, represented differing approaches to combating climate change. Driver likened the shift towards carbon-free energy to the Civil Rights Movement, while Osborn saw it as a transition similar to switching from horses to cars. Through respectful, challenging conversations, they developed a deep friendship, ultimately co-authoring the book "What We Can't Burn." Their experience highlights how opposing viewpoints can foster valuable connections, which was underscored in their recent event at the Edmond and Lily Safra Center for Ethics.
Driver viewed the push for carbon-free energy sources as a historical analog to the Civil Rights Movement. But Tom was like, 'No, this is much more akin to when we switched from horses and buggies to cars.'
