Written by Vijay Vaitheeswaran, environment and energy correspondent of The Economist, the book documents an energy revolution already under way.

Vaitheeswaran takes a comprehensive look at his subject, covering everything from a Texas oil baron who refuses to accept the reality of global warming to Amory Lovins of the Rocky Mountain Institute, where hydrogen fuel technology is being developed. The main thrust of Vaitheeswaran’s argument is that the world’s energy problem is as much economic and political as it is ecological.
