Book

The book is awesome, makes you think about the damage WE are doing to the environment but leaves you with an inkling of what WE can do to make a difference.

Must read for greens and esp. for the disbelievers!

I echo the other reviews. This is a must read for everyone. The clarity of the writing makes concepts easy to understand. It is extremely well-researched and nonpartisan, citing facts from governmental (Pentagon, Forest Service, etc etc) and "mainstream" sources as well as climate change studies. Answers the "objections" of those opposing climate change legislation. Please read this and then contact your legislators. I am planning to give copies to my Senators and Congressman.

I love this book!

Clean Energy Common Sense is fantastic. It distills the latest science, the best informed analysis, and the most thoughtful predictions into a brisk essay that actually leaves one feeling hopeful about the future and inspired to act. Beinecke and Deans don't pull punches about the grim prospects that await us if we continue to dither. But they layout a clear roadmap that we can use to navigate toward a clean energy future if, collectively, we can only summon the political will. And this book should go a long way toward creating that political will. I highly recommend Clean Energy Common Sense to anyone who wants to participate in solving the great challenge of our generation.

Quick and Compelling

This is easily the best book I have read on the topic of climate change. The narrative is compelling and reads easily, but the concepts presented are some of the most important and complex of our time. Beinecke provides a clear and concise presentation of facts that will affect not just our children's and their children's world, but the world we live in today. Bravo!

Better than Al Gore

This lively, well-written primer is a must for anyone who wants to understand the facts about climate change. As up-to-date as this morning's headlines, it pulls together all the current research so that readers can make up their own minds. If an informed citizenry is the best defense against tyranny (as somebody said, or should have), then the $9.95 invested in this book will be a lot more efficient than the Pentagon budget. Stefania
