The author is one of India’s most renowned journalists and a former member of the Bruntland Commission. He has been at the heart of India’s national discussion of sustainable development for decades and brings to the subject a wide international experience, a fierce understanding of technology and science, and a gift for communicating complex subjects in accessible and engaging language.

This is an extremely timely book. Today, as the perception of the risks facing humanity from the worsening impact of climate change is beginning to sink into the public’s consciousness, this book comes as an antidote to despair. For it shows not only that the technologies needed for an immediate shift out of fossil fuels have already been found, but that some of them have been around for almost a century. Perversely, on account of inertia in the system and the power of vested interests, these have been neglected to the detriment of all species on planet earth, including human society.

The book is all the more significant coming from a distinguished Indian journalist deeply immersed in Indian economic and energy policy. The author has been an adviser to the Prime Minister, economics editor of the Times of India, and a member of the energy panel of the Brundtland Commission. Overall, however, this is an excellent read, giving a fresh perspective on a tough global problem. It is written in compelling style, is full of important insights, and contains much food for thought.

Three technologies can replace fossil fuels completely within half a century, argues distinguished Indian journalist Prem Shankar Jha in his new book. The book is even more significant coming from a distinguished Indian journalist deeply immersed in Indian economic and energy policy. 

Overall, however, this is an excellent read, giving a fresh perspective on a tough global problem. It is written in compelling style, is full of important insights, and contains much food for thought.

The book opens with a stark warning of the threat that climate change presents to humanity. Jha believes that the outlook is even more ominous and the need for action even more urgent than the official international expert group (the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) has yet recognised. Overall, however, this is an excellent read, giving a fresh perspective on a tough global problem. It is written in compelling style, is full of important insights, and contains much food for thought.

“Extraordinary efforts researching... the title, though, is somewhat misleading… book is poorly edited, for it has several grammatical and other mistakes.”
