The world is facing a climate crisis, and our energy infrastructure is a major part of the problem. The burning of fossil fuels to generate electricity releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, which contribute to climate change. Climate change is already having a devastating impact on our planet, causing more extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and other disruptions.

We need to transition to a clean energy future, and one of the most important steps we can take is to build clean, resilient grids. A clean grid is one that is powered by renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power. A resilient grid is one that can withstand extreme weather events and other disruptions.

In their book Power After Carbon: Building Clean, Resilient Grids, Robert C. Brecha and Chris Nelder provide a roadmap for how to build a clean, resilient grid. They discuss the challenges and opportunities of transitioning to a clean energy future, and they offer practical advice on how to make it happen.

Power After Carbon is an essential read for anyone who is interested in building a clean, resilient energy future. It is a comprehensive and authoritative guide to the challenges and opportunities of transitioning to a clean energy future.
