When U.S. power companies revealed plans to build over 150 new coal-fired power plants, climate scientists sounded the alarm. If this wave of massive plants were built, there would be little chance of preventing greenhouses gases from reaching truly dangerous levels. In response to the crisis, hundreds of local and regional groups, along with a handful of national groups, rose to the challenge of blocking the wave of proposals.
Climate Hope focuses on the period 2007 to 2009, a time of intense mobilization and dramatic success. Through courageous action on a variety of fronts--from sit-ins at coal mines to blockades at big-city banks--the anti-coal movement succeeded in stopping over 100 power plant proposals, bringing the coal boom largely to a halt.
The fight to stop coal is a bright spot in the worldwide effort to fight global warming. According to Dr. James Hansen, director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Scientists, phasing out coal emissions is "80% of the solution to the global warming crisis." The grassroots organizing methods developed by the movement to stop new coal-fired power plants provide a positive example of ordinary people mobilizing, fighting, and winning.

Climate Hope On the Front Lines of the Fight Against Coal Ted Nace
I read Climate Hope in two sittings - its an important book which documents the fast-growing citizens movement against coal and fossil fuels. Since the mainstream media doesnt seem to get it, Ted Nace's book (and his CoalSwarm wiki) is an excellent source that proves that citizens are engaged and taking action, even though our government seems to be dithering. Well-written and timely, highly recommended.Product details

Climate Hope On the Front Lines of the Fight Against Coal Ted Nace Reviews
In this deeply compelling and hopeful report from the front lines of the climate fight, Ted Nace demonstrates how individuals, and small groups of conscientious Americans, are winning, and altering the course of human history. With over 100 coal plants now blocked, the growing grassroots climate movement has the coal industry on its heels. This book is a must-read for anyone needing a boost of hope in these challenging times. Beyond being deeply inspiring, "Climate Hope" is well-researched, well-written and enjoyable to read.
For people who care about our children's future, and the future of our planet for that matter, Ted Nace has written a very personal and informative narrative explaining why ending coal emissions is "the 80% solution" to solving our climate crisis. Beyond that, it gives hope by sharing positive examples of people who have mobilized to stop new coal plants, and encourages the rest of us to be part of the swarm for ongoing education about this crucial topic. A wonderful gift for the New Year!
