Publisher's Synopsis
Many have warned about eminent doom from global warming: Heat waves, droughts, stronger storms, and rising sea level. All those things might lead to famine and plague. Those desperate concerns led to a proposal called the Green New Deal. This Green New Deal is a desperate venture. Yet, at the same time, it is wildly optimistic. It would use a ten-year national mobilization to rebuild every structure in America, replace all fossil fuels with solar and wind, replace our meats with vegetarian food, and do all these things with government efficiency-- just like the Post Office. Can we think of something better ... more practical? YES, we can! This treatise provides three major development themes for A Better Green New Deal: 1. Advanced agriculture and agriculture that regenerates soils; 2. Next-generation, more efficient, nuclear fission reactors; and 3. Extending agriculture and industry out to sea. These are new technologies, just as steam engines, farm tractors, cell phones, and airplanes were all new technologies. The secret is doing it for fun and profit. With that, one can save the world ... before breakfast.
