'Jacobson's vision is clearly the human future.' Bill McKibben, from the foreword to Still No Miracles Needed 'The Stanford University academic has a compelling pitch: the world can rapidly get 100% of its energy from renewable sources with, as the title of his new book says, 'no miracles needed'.' The Guardian '... the argument is convincing and optimistic. Readers looking to rebut criticism about green energy will find this a great help.' Publishers Weekly 'Jacobson's scholarly and analytical book is persuasive'. The Economist 'In his new book, Mark Jacobson tackles the problems of climate change, air pollution, and energy security head-on, offering a hopeful vision of a future powered by renewable energy sources.' Donald Wright, Yale Climate Connections 'Professor Jacobson eschews expensive pie in the sky technology like carbon capture or nuclear to show us the way out of a multi-layered problem. Pollution, climate catastrophe and energy security can all be addressed with his simple plan. Mark lays it out in an easy-to-read, step-by-step guide that gives hope and helps us all to easily understand that these problems are not insurmountable or even very expensive. We have virtually all we need to move ahead with a cleaner, safer and more secure world starting today. You knowing it will accelerate this necessary transition away from burning things to power our lives. This book is a godsend.' Mark Ruffalo 'To those who wrongly insist we lack the tools to decarbonize our economy today, I say: read energy systems expert Mark Jacobson's amazing new book ... a comprehensive and detailed, yet highly accessible and readable blueprint for the options we have right now to address the climate crisis by taking advantage of existing renewable energy, storage, and smart grid technology combined with electrification of transportation systems, and efficiency measures. Read this book and be informed and engaged to help tackle the defining challenge of our time.' Michael Mann, Distinguished Professor of Atmospheric Science at Penn State University and author of The New Climate War 'Many people believe or fear that we can't solve the climate crisis, because we just don't have the technologies in hand to do so. This book should lay that fear to rest, once and for all.' Naomi Oreskes, co-author (with Erik M Conway) of The Big Myth: How American Business Taught Us to Loathe Government and Love the Free Market 'A masterful yet definitive book on renewable energy technology for those serious about understanding clean energy and how America and the world can transition to clean energy.' John J. Berger, author of Solving the Climate Crisis: Frontline Reports from the Race to Save the Earth
