"In 'The Big Fix,' energy expert 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 take as their focus 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 filled with compelling examples from around the country and the world -- the book provides an action plan for anyone serious about holding our governments accountable and saving our threatened planet." --Jacket.

Gillis, Justin.
