An American's Guide to Climate Change: How America Can Lead and Prosper
An American's Guide to Climate Change starts with a simple observation: America's climate debate is dominated by two loud minorities - climate activists on one end and climate change deniers on the other. But most Americans are neither. They sit in the exhausted middle, tired of shouting, tired of being told to choose sides, and ready for practical, bipartisan solutions that strengthen the economy while protecting the planet.
Most Americans want a new narrative for how to address climate change. This book is written for them.
Grounded in facts but focused on solutions, it shows how the United States can transform climate challenges into opportunities for innovation, competitiveness, and national unity. Drawing on examples from red states and blue states alike, it demonstrates that climate progress is already happening across the country - not because politicians agree, but because Americans are problem solvers. Whether it's clean manufacturing in the Midwest, renewable energy in Texas, or coastal resilience in the Carolinas, the work is underway.
The book argues that America has unique competitive advantages that position us to lead the world: an entrepreneurial culture, deep capital markets, world-class universities, technological leadership, and a long tradition of rising to big challenges. Climate change is not just a threat - it is a historic opportunity to deliver cheap and reliable energy, rebuild American industry, and strengthen national security. It is also a way to gain a competitive advantage over China, our biggest geopolitical rival.
The book makes the case for a positive, forward-looking path - one that cuts through polarization and focuses on what Americans can accomplish together. Clear, hopeful, and pragmatic, An American's Guide to Climate Change offers a blueprint for the stable, bipartisan, opportunity-creating climate policies that the great American majority wants - and that the country now urgently needs.
