A powerful and comprehensive account of how the global economy can and must replace its dependence on fossil fuels with solar and renewable energy – and the enormous and multiple benefits that should follow. The author shows how current technological change and economic growth is literally sending our future prospects up in smoke. He explodes the myth that fossil energy is “cheaper” and maps the dynamic road towards renewable energy that will create a genuinely sustainable global economy, and with it the only secure prospects for future prosperity that can be shared worldwide. His book offers an alternative programme to the process of the Kyoto Protocol on climate change and international negotiations to reach a consensus with the existing fossil-fuel lobby.
