"Plugged In"Coming Clean - Breaking America's Addiction to Oil and Coal
Michael Brune, 2008, Sierra Club/Counterpoint
Michael Brune begins his tale of America's entrenched fossil fuel addiction with a quote by Victor Hugo:
"There is one thing stronger than all the armies of the world, and that is an idea whose time has come."
According to Brune, the time has come, and the time is up. He presents a compelling case for the big clean-up with relentless clarity that compels all of us to act. If widely known, the facts in this book could serve to awaken America from its all-too-familiar status quo, business-as-usual stupor. This book presents the case for unleashing America from its savage slavery to fossil fuels and then presents solutions. More importantly, though, we learn HOW to effect the cure.
