The Environmentally and Economically Smart Strategy for Solving the Global Energy Crisis--Starting Now / Improving energy management to cut fossil fuel usage and turbocharge economic growth / Building a bridge to the era of safe, renewable energy: solutions that are working right now / Overcoming our biggest obstacles: ideological blind spots, structural barriers, bad habits, and outmoded laws Whether you're concerned about global warming, geopolitics, or cost, one fact is indisputable: We need to move away from fossil fuels. But here's an equally inconvenient truth: Someday, wind, solar, and other renewables will be ready to fill the world's enormous, fast-growing demand for energy, but they're not ready yet. How do we get from where we are now to a future of safe, renewable energy? By dramatically improving the way we manage the energy we're already using. No futuristic promises, no unproven technology: Crossing the Energy Divide shows how we can get 50%...even 100%...more energy from the sources we're using right now--with lower carbon emissions and higher economic growth. When it comes to energy, there's finally a path to the future that works. And, whether you're a policymaker, investor, or citizen, you need to understand it: Your future depends on it.
