Product Description

Green illustrates and sheds new light on the gamut of issues associated with renewable energy, a topic whose importance increases exponentially with every temperature record-setting year. Jane and Michael Hoffman use their years of experience to explain the technological and economic future of this ecologically significant issue. They incisively explain its politics: what countries are doing right now and, most importantly, what the U.S. should be doing. Green will cut through the hype and polemics surrounding ecologically friendly technologies and present the unvarnished truth. It will guide the reader through the misinformation and confusion over global warming, and demonstrate the degree to which renewable energy can be part of the solution.

5 out of 5 stars Informative, Optimistic and Inspiring   October 1, 2008
You have to read this book now! It is very informative and quite exciting, as more is happening in the world than at least I knew. It is also practical and inspiring action and change.


5 out of 5 stars Super primer on how to save the planet   September 29, 2008
I opened Green fearing that it might be too simplistic or have an agenda. Nothing could be further from the truth. It is concise and addresses the key issues, from the local to the global level, but without unnecessary simplificaton or talking down to the reader. The Hoffmans spell out the governmental policy changes necessary to make going green palatable, and more important, profitable for private enterprise, so that the invisible hand can do its magical work. This is a must read for people of all ages who care about the planet and their place in it.


5 out of 5 stars Green, a comprehensive survey of the energy revolution inthe US.   September 19, 2008
This book is well written by people with experience in the field. It provides a very comprehensive review of the three pillars of the energy crisis, conservation, development and utilization of existing energy forms, plus new technology with extensive advantages. I only wish I was forty years younger so I could make some contribution to the solution of our energy needs for the future.


5 out of 5 stars An informative, easy read on the renewable energy sector   August 6, 2008
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

This book does an excellent job of explaining developments and investment opportunities within the U.S. renewable energy sector in a way that is easy to understand and relate to. With energy emerging as a major 2008 presidential campaign issue, this book could bring someone with limited knowledge of renewable energy up to speed on all the major issues.


5 out of 5 stars great green   July 22, 2008

I am inspired by the illuminating and clear information that the Hoffman team has compiled, Green is a masterful book. It is informative and entertaining. I highly recommend Green, because we all have a place in the New Energy Revolution. An exceptional book
