A Sapien’s Conundrum

Blending science and cultural history, he traces Homo sapiens from tribal origins and stone tools to the atomic age and internal combustion, then offers a rational path toward a sustainable future—and the role each of us can play.

About Power
Accelerating climate chaos and deepening inequity persist because electric utility service is built backwards. Utilities profit when they sell more power and pollute more; conservation cuts earnings. Meanwhile, costly transmission lines are built for remote renewables instead of prioritizing community-scale projects that need little new infrastructure. About Power argues that better energy management can reduce major social and environmental harms—and insists nuclear power is not the answer—offering history, diagnosis, and a path to fix what’s broken.
The world is in crisis over Climate Chaos and multi-dimensional inequities. About Power shows how the electric utility industry contributes to this crisis, and how delivering electric utility services properly could instead provide solutions.
