Product Description

Review
"Purging this country of its two-century addiction to fossil fuels is the great task of our time. Here is the resource we have long needed."
--Bill McKibben, author of "Deep Economy"
"Strung out by high gas prices? Melting ice caps give you the sweats? Lost in fantasies about clean coal, tar sands, and undiscovered oil fields in Alaska? Coming Clean is a road map to recovery, a smart, heartfelt guide to building a better world."
-- Jeff Goodell, author of "Big Coal: The Dirty Secret Behind America's Energy Future"
"Straight from the front lines of the battle for a clean, cheap energy economy, Mike Brune tells the fascinating inside story. With fuel prices soaring, his practical vision for how we can 'come clean' is tremendously important. I especially appreciate his guidance on how we can make this revolution happen before it's too late."
--Wes Boyd, cofounder of MoveOn.Org
"A thoroughly engaging, reader-friendly analysis of our energy dilemma. Brune's empowering book tells us how to take back our future from the energy bullies leading us down a path to climate chaos."
-- Ross Gelbspan, author of the "Heat Is On" and "Boiling Point"
"Winning the battle against climate change will take a lot more than buying better light bulbs and inflating our cars' tires. Coming Clean shows how to get the systemic change we really need."
-- Bonnie Raitt, musician/activist
"This is a valuable odyssey through the coming world of clean, sustainable, resilient energy. As Brune puts it, 'Join us: it's fun over here.'"
-- R. James Woolsey, energy-independence expert, former CIA director
"If politics as usual could do it, the climate crisis would be fixed by now. Ofcourse voting is essential. But so is the Rainforest Action Network's brand of activism: target corporate polluters directly and break their hold over government policy. Mike Brune shows how to do it in a book Exxon-Mobil no doubt wishes had never been published."
-- Mark Hertsgaard, author of "Earth Odyssey" and environment correspondent for "The Nation"
"An optimistic, realistic, pragmatic call to action. In this eloquent book, Mike Brune offers practical approaches, hope, and inspiration. A must-read for anyone who dreams of a sustainable, just, and peaceful future."
-- John Perkins, author of "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" and "The Secret History of the American Empire"
"At last! A road map to a clean energy future. As Michael Brune says, embracing clean energy is not an obligation, it is an opportunity."
--Van Jones, author of "The Green-Collar Economy"

5.0 out of 5 stars a huge eye opener, filled with interesting background on our situation today, 11 April 2009
By CESP "cesp19" (Hampshire) - See all my reviews
This is a must read. I have been trying to get everyone I know to read this, it's simply superb, written clearly, in an approachable and sensible style. It fills you in on how mining is done, how damaging it is to our ecosystems, and how inefficient it is as a form of energy, and real issues we face in todays society, with the race for oil and declining supplies and growing population and consumption.
It also has a fantastic index of organisations that can inform you more on the issues of energy and how you can reduce your carbon footprint.
