Inhaltsangabe

This is a pre-release edition of Elton Sherwin's new book, Addicted to Energy. A Silicon Valley venture capitalist, Sherwin offers pragmatic and innovative solutions to the climate crisis.

Addicted to Energy is written as a guidebook to a fictional governor, with advice on how to manage both the climate and energy crises. The book outlines practical steps that governments, businesses, and individuals can take to lower their energy consumption.

Heavily researched, the book presents complex topics in simple, understandable, and sometimes amusing ways. Short and to the point, the author makes over fifty recommendations; most are shorter than three pages. The book contains many charts and graphs, as well as practical tips for homeowners, businesses, and local governments.
