The Clean Industrial Revolution: Growing Australian Prosperity in a Greenhouse Age

The world is in the midst of a seismic shift in the way it generates energy and grows economic prosperity. Since the first industrial revolution we've been burning carbon to run our lives, but climate change and dwindling supplies of oil are now forging a new clean industrial revolution which will end our reliance on carbon for good. In this compelling book, climate scientist and economist Ben McNeil demonstrates the immense economic opportunities which will open up if Australia leads the new clean industrial revolution. He shows how investing, commercializing, and exporting the new fuels, materials, and technologies for the twenty-first century will boost economic prosperity as well as environmental sustainability. In a world craving clean energy, nations and businesses who are clever and courageous enough to embrace the change will thrive.
