{"product_id":"brother-bear-dvd-0786936224023","title":"Brother Bear","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlmost every major centrist\/progressive institution in the United States, from 350.org to Greenpeace, from Democracy Now to the Democratic Party, seems committed to powering the industrial economy with 'renewable' energy. And we hear all the time that 'solar power will save the planet.' But a) will 'renewables' actually power the economy? and b) are 'renewables' good for the planet?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe answer in both cases is no.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn fact, the answer is worse than no, in that because of these bright green lies much of the environmental movement has been transformed from being about saving wild places and wild nature into being about powering the industrial economy. These bright green lies have turned much of the environmental movement into a lobbying arm for a sector of the industrial economy, such that you can have 100,000 people marching on the streets of Washington, D.C., and if you ask them why they're marching, they'll say, 'To save the planet, but if you ask them for their demands, they'll say, Subsidies for the solar industry. There has never been another social movement so completely coopted.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBright Green Lies\u003c\/i\u003e systematically debunks many of the lies and distortions that characterize the discourse of those who argue that 'technology will stop global warming' or that 'technology will save the planet.' The book has a chapter devoted to debunking claims that each of following will individually or collectively power this culture sustainably; or help the planet: solar power, wind power, recycling, 'efficiency, ' batteries and other forms of energy storage, changes in the electrical grid, and hydropower. The authors also provide their own solutions, and more importantly, a way of looking at these problems that centers on the health of the planet.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book has taken six years to research and write. And no one is more qualified to write this book. The book's co-authors share between them seventy years of front-line grassroots environmental activism. In addition, Derrick Jensen is the author of twenty-five books, including the acclaimed \u003ci\u003eA Language Older Than Words\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eEndgame\u003c\/i\u003e. Lierre Keith is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Vegetarian Myth\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDeep Green Resistance\u003c\/i\u003e, and others. Max Wilbert has been researching and writing about the environmental harms caused by solar, wind, and other 'renewables' for nearly a decade.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49688793284881,"sku":"DVDB00005JMFHVG","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53416462745873,"sku":"CINB00005JMFHG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ LIKE_NEW \/ SBYB","offer_id":53425312006417,"sku":"CINB00005JMFHLN","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53425514873105,"sku":"CINB00005JMFHVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":53428390953233,"sku":"CINB00005JMFHA","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B00005JMFH.jpg?v=1750906444","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/brother-bear-dvd-0786936224023","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
