BUT, regardless of how much the author glosses over or ignores many realities, there is a lot of "pie in the sky" here. Some political realities will not be overcome, further, as I read the book I became somewhat unconvinced of the possibilities, not just politically, but physically. I particularly question how soon we can actually electrify all cars, among other solutions presented, without far more heavy disruptions than Griffith allows for.
If there is one biggest issue that presents itself here, and in all discussion of climate change, and I'm a believer saying this, it is that a large percentage of the public, perhaps a majority, doesn't believe in how serious the issue is, and for that many are to blame for not explaining it in a lucid, cogent manner, and simply disregarding their lack of understanding. Griffith, and others like him have a ways to go to pull that off, and if you read this work, you'll likely see why.
This book will be appreciated by anyone interested in the interplay between energy and environment. It’s somewhat technical in places, but not so much that it is impenetrable to the non-technical reader.
I don’t really have any serious problems with it, as it strikes the right balance between motivation and depth of detail, with references provided for those seeking to go deeper.

A must read for everyone ... so that we can all do good things within our capacity to do so.
Unfortunately, it is very United States of America oriented, but everyone and every political jurisdiction and locality on the planet needs to apply the thinking to their location and take action as soon as possible.
A bit technical in parts, but he is providing information for economists, business leaders, political leaders, as well as the general public (like me) who can get the gist of what he is saying and start taking action now.
There is a lot of images of graphs and sankey diagrams that are mostly unreadable on the electronic version. Maybe the publisher made the images low res to avoid amazon charges?
