Post Carbon Cities: Planning for Energy and Climate Uncertainty
Post Carbon Cities: Planning for Energy and Climate Uncertainty – Review
This is the only publication I know of that offers a comprehensive and professional overview (without the emotion of imminent catastrophe) of the twin challenges of global warming and peak oil, written specifically to officials in municipalities, although any business leader would also benefit from its content. The book describes the issues, the implications, and provides guidelines for finally getting started on important solutions to these challenges. Daniel is an impressive and generally convincing speaker and author. I think the book is excellent. It’s well centered, reasonable and the author evidently understands regional government. It is a quick widely read, easy to understand, offers fine guidance, and I enthusiastically recommend it as a important resource. Every Municipality should have this book on their staff “To Read” list. If Municipalities aren’t vigorously planning for these two challenges already (global warming and peak oil) they are already behind the curve, with potentially overwhelming consequences.
