What We Need to Do Now by Chris Goodall
A perfect blueprint for a zero carbon future.
When economist Chris Goodall was writing this pleasingly accessible book, G7 countries had just begun to set net zero emission targets, and his idea of meeting those goals by boosting renewable electricity enough to create hydrogen-powered economies seemed highly ambitiousToday, it's going mainstream as countries around the world bet on just that strategy. -- Pitta Clark * Financial Times – Environment Books of the Year *
