DESCRIPTION:In Bad Energy, award-winning journalist Joshua Frank argues that the green 
 energy transition is driven not by an effort to save the planet but by 
 profit incentives. We must stop burning fossil fuels if we have any hope of 
 saving the planet, but the significant, haphazard expansion of green energy 
 in recent years--from large solar projects to wind energy to mining for 
 renewables--has destroyed communities and ecosystems. And worse, renewables 
 simply cannot match our ever-expanding demand for energy, driven in no 
 small part by the rapid proliferation of data centers in the world's 
 wealthiest nations.\n\nTaking readers from copper mines in Montana and 
 Bolivia to wind farms in Wyoming to the geopolitical battle over deep-sea 
 mining in the South Pacific, Bad Energy offers a stark assessment of the 
 costs of the rush for renewables and the demand for endless growth. As 
 Frank makes clear, we cannot consume our way out of climate chaos. What we 
 need instead is rejection of the capitalist interests driving planetary 
 collapse and a radical vision for a truly sustainable future.\n
