Here Comes the Sun

This is a history, a handbook, a hopeful look at the energy revolution that’s already well underway. Here Comes the Sun takes us into a new era beyond fossil fuels and all the literal and political poison they bring–and shows us what the obstacles are in getting there. Written with Bill McKibben’s inimitable clarity, it is also a gripping read about science, history, culture, and possibility that equips us all to be climate champions.–Rebecca Solnit, author of Hope in the Dark: Untold Histories, Wild PossibilitiesBill McKibben has the unique ability to make important books both fun and a pleasure to read. For more than forty years he has campaigned about Nature and our place in it, but Here Comes the Sun may be his most timely and necessary volley yet.–Richard A. Cohen, author of Chasing the Sun: The Epic Story of the Star That Gives Us LifeNo one has done more to raise the alarm about climate change or to address the problem than Bill McKibben. In Here Comes the Sun, he shows that we all have the technologies we need to move forward. If any book could make a thinking person hopeful about the future, this is it.–Elizabeth Kolbert, author of The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History

Bill McKibben is the author of more than twenty books, including the bestsellers The End of Nature, Falter, and Deep Economy. Founder of Third Act, a project organizing people over sixty for progressive change, he lives in Vermont with his wife, the writer Sue Halpern.
