A historic energy revolution is underway in the United States. Wind,
sunlight, and other sustainable resources are now the fastest growing
sources of energy in the U.S. and worldwide. American families are
installing power plants on their roofs and entire communities are
switching to 100 percent renewable energy. The urgent need to prevent
climate change is causing people around the planet to question their
reliance on carbon-intensive oil, coal, and natural gas. Author Bill
Ritter, Jr., the 41st governor of Colorado and one of America's key
thought leaders on this topic, discusses the forces behind the energy
revolution, the new ways we must think about energy, and the future of
fossil and renewable fuels. It is an essential read for any who want to
understand one of history's biggest challenges to peace, prosperity, and
security in the United States. Written in partnership with the Center
for a New Energy Economy.
