From financial collapse to climate chaos to the end of cheap and easy oil, we have reached the end of the line for business as usual. The good news? The tools already exist to reinvent our economy in ways that both eliminate our dependence on fossil fuels and support a lifestyle as prosperous and durable as any we’ve ever known.
From cutting-edge clean energy technologies generating industrial-scale power on the Andalusian Plain to tax-free legislation that has launched the second Industrial Revolution in Germany while slashing the country’s carbon emissions, Chris Turner has discovered the businesses, cities and whole national economies that are making the leap to sustainability—and thriving. Firmly grounded in the hard realities of business and policy, The Leap looks beyond hope to uncover the winners and losers of the future we can no longer deny.
