A brilliant "first draft of history" outlining how individual researchers, companies, and governments around the world have started winning the fight to power human civilization with clean energy
Thanks so much. In 2024 I’m trying NOT to read every climate crisis book on publication, so I’m a reluctant reader of something like Climate Capitalism, but after reading your review, I’m convinced it’ll be a bedrock of this year’s reading.
I'm adding it to my list just for the part on China. As you know, I'm a huge fan of battery technology and am happy to see China putting its technological muscle into the effort. The U.S. may be currently playing catch-up here, but with our larger research base, it won't be for long. This kind of competition, rather than the old cold war arms races, is very welcome.
"Exponential" should not be used as a synonym for rapid. Exponential change can be positive or negative depending on the the exponent. Exponential is a specific math term.

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed this review!
This one has been on my TBR pile for awhlie! Time to move it to the top.
Thank you!
Closing out this horrible year with information that brings back joy and hope. Thank you.

Indeed!
