New Book Recommendation

The following book is a must read in my opinion, and I urge you all to sit down with it.

'Hot, Flat and Crowded' by Thomas L. Friedman is a book about the lack of a global sustainable energy system, the impediments and possibilities for developing one, the economic benefits of doing so, and how America can lead a revolution of intelligent design and revolution - once again asserting itself as a technological and manufacturing global leader. More than that though, it is a vision for our children's' future - which at its root exposes the inadequacy of our government's policy and action status quo.

From the book: "We are living at a hinge of history that is going to determine just which way this Energy-Climate Era will swing. If we are going to manage what is already unavoidable and avoid what will be truly unmanageable, we need to make sure everything we do from here on helps to build a real, sustainable, scalable solution. The clear and easy paths are closed. All that matters now is how we walk through the fire."
