Windfall: Wind Energy in America Today

摘要

In an economy built and sustained by the use of fossil fuels, Windfall makes a compelling case for making the difficult transition to an economy based on renewable energy sources. Never denying that these sources will replace petroleum, natural gas, and coal in the decades to come, Righter's narrative focuses on "the fastest-growing form of renewable energy in the world." The politics and policies supporting and opposing wind energy programs receive a thorough examination here with Righter reminding us that "the facts on the growth of wind energy shift almost as fast as the ink dries."
