How many lightbulbs does it take to change a planet

This is the most comprehensive and informative book I've read on the subject of climate change. You can read everything from the formation of coal to how a squeaking duck shamed Bush into changing his position on climate change. If you feel that you are powerless against huge organisations read how a cardboard trophy had reprisentitives of americas major energy companies cowering in a back room too scared to go out. Be a fly on the wall at an unofficial meeting with Tony Blair. There is some practical advice but there is no preaching. It's really well written, extremely interesting, strangely compelling, you'll know what I mean if you read it. It's possibly an important book for our era. I'm very glad I read it.
