SUMMARY:Go Green Reads: Here Comes the Sun
DESCRIPTION:Here Comes the Sun tells the story of the sudden spike in power from the sun and wind – and the desperate fight of the fossil fuel industry and their politicians to hold this new power at bay. Bill McKibben traces the arrival of plentiful\, inexpensive solar energy\, which also presents a chance to reorder the world on saner and more humane grounds. You can’t hoard solar energy or hold it in reserves—it’s available to all. \nGo Green Reads is offered through a collaboration between Go Green Winnetka and Go Green Wilmette in partnership with The Book Stall and the Winnetka-Northfield Public Library District. \nPlease register below and email gogreenreads@gmail.com with questions.
