A “smart, honest, and down-to-earth” (Elizabeth Kolbert)
citizen’s guide to the seven urgent changes that
will really make a difference for our climate. If you
think the only thing you can do to combat climate change is to
install a smart thermostat or cook plant-based meat, you’re
thinking too small. In The Big Fix, energy policy advisor Hal
Harvey and longtime New York Times reporter Justin
Gillis offer a new, hopeful way to engage with one of the greatest
problems of our age. Writing in a lively, accessible style, the
pair illuminate how the really big decisions that
affect our climate get made—whether by the most obscure public
utilities commissions or in the lofty halls of state capitols—and
reveal how each of us can influence these decisions to deliver
change. The pair focus on the seven areas of our political economy
where ambitious but practical changes will have the greatest
effect: from what kind of power plants to build to how much
insulation new houses require to how efficient cars must be before
they’re allowed on the road. Equal parts pragmatic and
inspiring—and “full of illustrative stories and compelling
evidence” (Al Gore)—The Big Fix provides an action plan
for anyone serious about holding our governments accountable and
saving our threatened planet.
