We hear all the time that 'solar power will save the planet.' But: \n  \u003cbr\u003ea) Will 'renewables' actually power the economy? \n  \u003cbr\u003eb) Are 'renewables' good for the planet?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe answer in both cases is no. In fact, the answer is worse than no, in that because of these bright green lies, much of the environmental movement has been transformed from being about saving wild places and wild nature into being about powering the industrial economy. These bright green lies have turned much of the environmental movement into a lobbying arm for a sector of the industrial economy. You can have 100,000 people marching on the streets of Washington, D.C., and if you ask them why they're marching, they'll say, 'To save the planet,' but if you ask them for their demands, they'll say, 'Subsidies for the solar industry.' There has never been another social movement so completely coopted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBright Green Lies\u003c\/i\u003e has a chapter devoted to debunking claims that each of the following will individually or collectively power this culture sustainably, or help the planet: solar power, wind power, recycling, 'efficiency,' batteries and other forms of energy storage, changes in the electrical grid, and hydropower. The book also provides its own solutions, and more importantly, a way of looking at these problems that centres the health of the planet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46719147016428,"sku":"9781948626392","price":54.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/21902933482881.jpg?v=1754545351"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/derrick-jensen.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
