How to harness the great forces of capitalism to save the
world from catastrophe. The forecasts are grim and time is running out, but that's
not the end of the story. In this book, Fred Krupp, longtime
president of Environmental Defense Fund, brings a stirring
and hopeful call to arms: We can solve global warming. And
in doing so we will build the new industries, jobs, and
fortunes of the twenty-first century. In these pages the reader will encounter the bold innovators
and investors who are reinventing energy and the ways we use
it. Among them: a frontier impresario who keeps his ice
hotel frozen all summer long with the energy of hot springs;
a utility engineer who feeds smokestack gases from
coal-fired plants to voracious algae, then turns them into
fuel; and a tribe of Native Americans, for two thousand
years fishermen in the roughest Pacific waters, who are now
harvesting the fierce power of the waves themselves. These entrepreneurs are poised to remake the world's biggest
business and save the planet—if America's political leaders
give them a fair chance to compete.
