A practical guide to tackle climate change, The Clean Energy Economy is timely, comprehensive, and should be read by anyone who cares about saving our planet for future generations.

A clear-eyed view of the stuff that really needs to happen, with lots of ideas of just what might be possible to do. I don't think there was really anything I didn't agree with. The writing is also good...very comprehensive, and the commentaries and summaries are done well…helpful and valuable.

After more than 20 years in the environment and energy management field, I have come across a number of good books written by experts for experts. The Clean Energy Age is a practical, how-to guide for the average person who understands we have a problem and wants to do their part to mitigate climate change. The Top 10 Lists are great!
