From the acclaimed environmentalist, a call to harness the power of the sun and rewrite our scientific, economic, and political future.Bill McKibben is the author of more than twenty books, including the bestsellers The End of Nature, Falter, and Deep Economy. Founder of Third Act, a project organizing people over sixty for progressive change, he lives in Vermont with his wife, the writer Sue Halpern."No one has done more to raise the alarm about climate change or to address the problem than Bill McKibben. In Here Comes the Sun, he shows that we all have the technologies we need to move forward. If any book could make a thinking person hopeful about the future, this is it."― Elizabeth Kolbert, author of The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History."This is a history, a handbook, a hopeful look at the energy revolution that’s already well underway. Here Comes the Suntakes us into a new era beyond fossil fuels and all the literal and political poison they bring―and shows us what the obstacles are in getting there. Written with Bill McKibben’s inimitable clarity, it is also a gripping read about science, history, culture, and possibility that equips us all to be climate champions."― Rebecca Solnit, author of Hope in the Dark: Untold Histories, Wild PossibilitiesOur climate, and our democracy, are melting down. But Bill McKibben, one of the first to sound the alarm about the climate crisis, insists the moment is also full of possibility. Energy from the sun and wind is suddenly the cheapest power on the planet and growing faster than any energy source in history―if we can keep accelerating the pace, we have a chance.Here Comes the Sun tells the story of the sudden spike in power from the sun and wind―and the desperate fight of the fossil fuel industry and their politicians to hold this new power at bay. From the everyday citizens who installed solar panels equal to a third of Pakistan’s electric grid in a year to the world’s sixth-largest economy―California―nearly halving its use of natural gas in the last two years, Bill McKibben traces the arrival of plentiful, inexpensive solar energy. And he shows how solar power is more than just a path out of the climate crisis: it is a chance to reorder the world on saner and more humane grounds. You can’t hoard solar energy or hold it in reserves―it’s available to all.There’s no guarantee we can make this change in time, but there is a hope―in McKibben’s eyes, our best hope for a new civilization: one that looks up to the sun, every day, as the star that fuels our world.
