From the publisher
Every eighteen hours, the world puts up a nuclear power plant's-worth of solar panels. At the same time, combustion continues to melt the poles, poison our bodies and drive global inequality. It is no longer necessary: for the first time in 700,000 years, we know how to catch the sun's rays and convert them into energy. In Here Comes the Sun, Bill McKibben tells the story of the spike in power from the sun and wind. McKibben traces the arrival of plentiful, inexpensive solar energy, which gives us a chance not just to limit climate change's damage but to reorder the world. Getting there means overcoming obstacles like Big Oil but McKibben sees a chance for a new civilisation that looks to the sun as the star that fuels our world.
