Frances Beinecke has long been a leader in solutions-based
environmentalism, working across the political spectrum to turn
common sense into common ground. In this book, she trains that
approach on the greatest environmental challenge of our time:
climate change. She maps out a course of action, and she shows how
it can prepare generations of Americans for success in the
fast-growing global market for the clean energy solutions of
tomorrow.
*Carol M. Browner, Administrator of the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, 1993-2001; Assistant to the President for Energy
and Climate Change, 2009-2011*
Our politics may be divided over the issue of climate change, but
our people are not. Increasingly, Americans are united around the
need to address this gathering threat and the urgency to act. In
this book, Frances Beinecke, one of the nation's most effective
environmental leaders, shows us how to do that in a way that can
help make Americans more prosperous, more competitive, and more
secure. That's an approach people of all political perspectives can
surely get behind.
*William K. Reilly, Administrator of the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, 1989-1993; Co-Chairman, the National Commission
on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling,
2010-2011*
