#Optimism book pdf how to#
I hope you’ll check out the book, but much more important, I hope you’ll do what you can to help us keep the planet livable for generations to come.Įxcerpt from How to Avoid a Climate Disaster Over the coming weeks and months, we’ll be turning the ideas in my book into action and trying to turn this plan into reality.īelow is an excerpt from the introduction, which gives you a sense of what the book is about and how I came to write it. We’ll be supporting great thinkers and cutting-edge technologies and businesses, as well as pushing for public- and private-sector policies that will speed up the clean energy transition. The effort I founded called Breakthrough Energy, which started with a venture fund to invest in promising clean energy companies, has expanded to a network of philanthropic programs, investment funds, and advocacy efforts to accelerate energy innovation at every step. I also included ways in which everyone can contribute-whether you’re a political leader, an entrepreneur, an inventor, a voter, or an individual who wants to know how you can help.
I didn’t assume that readers know anything about energy or climate change, though if you do, I hope it will deepen your understanding of this incredibly complex topic. I kept the jargon to a minimum because I wanted the book to be accessible to everyone who cares about this issue.
