Description
Good Energy delivers a declaration that renewable energy can be
beautiful, affordable, and easy to implement. Jared Green highlights 35
case studies from around the world, featuring a wide array of designs
and building types that achieve good energy, good design, and excellent
cost-efficiency.
Single-family homes, townhouses, community
spaces, schools, offices, and even power plants demonstrate that relying
on solar, wind, and geothermal energy doesn't have to cost more. Each
inspiring design harmonizes nature, technology, and democratic space and
shows that renewable energy can be appealing and accessible to
everyone.
An interview with Mark Z. Jacobson, Stanford University
professor of civil and environmental engineering and cofounder of the
Solutions Project, discusses pathways to 100-percent renewable energy
around the globe through good design.

Review quote
"If climate change is the greatest public health threat of our century, then renewable energy is an enormous public health opportunity. Clean power sources are also healthy power sources-and as this book shows, they can also be beautiful, inspiring, and economical. In Good Energy, Jared Green has given us not only a joyous read, but also a guide to the future of global health."
