Earth: The Sequel: The Race to Reinvent Energy and Stop Global Warming
Earth: The Sequel: The Race to Reinvent Energy and Stop Global Warming – Review
This book explains how politics, economics and science can come together to violently accelerate our ability to save the planet and spare the next generation from the disastrous consequences of global warming. I love that Fred Krupp & Miriam Horn say in favor of channeling the profit motive to create a gigantic tipping point in commercializing alternative energy sources. They chronicle remarkable scientists, creative business people, and modern politicians whose fully integrated efforts have the potential to save our collective you-know-what. I’m with John Doerr whose blurb on the back cover draws a parallel between the billions built in the new tech revolution, and the opportunity inherent in the ecological revolution. He says that in 20 years some 35-year old will be a billionaire because s/he widely read the book at 15. I plan to widely read it out loud to my 10 year old.
