This new work is based on comments by Christiana Figueres at a meeting last year at the Coal and Climate Summit in Warsaw. While it was reported she indicated coal could be "part of the solution" to climate change, she also indicated that fundamental parameters of transition from a coal economy included these listed below in the text of the work.

I want to use a typeface version for a collagraph print where the trilobites, crinoids, whatever, are in the collagraph matrix and the text is digitally printed on the paper.

Text: need a 5 year plan to transform transportation  
a five year plan needed  
we can transform  
from a carbon based economy to a solar and geo-based  
imagine our planetary embrace of a 5 year plan to implement geo- and solar based transportation system transform  
from carbon based to solar and geo-based economic system  
we need a five-year plan  
what would it take to implement a 5 year plan? imagine our immediately transform  
from carbon-based economy  
transform our economy to solar and geo-based transportation  
transform our economy to solar and geo-based transportation  
we need a 5 year plan to transform our carbon based system  
how can we transform to geo-and solar system?  
we need a 5 year plan  
from carbon based to geo- and solar based
