Solitary Refinement

More about the book

In a global competition between continued harvesting of fossil fuels and the slower-paced exploitation of renewable energy, which side will win, and how? In a dangerous world of big business, big government, and greedy scoundrels, up against a decades-long march of peaceful activists for renewable energy, who arises as the resolute savior? Book “The project is not about renewable energy; it is, instead, as it is named, about advanced energy.” Landry doesn’t miss a detail of Mack’s top-secret work on a team of experts trying to solve the energy problem. The ultimate result is eco-fiction with a streak of activism. Landry generates urgency to act and speak out against those sacrificing the earth to gain profits and power. book review by Michelle Jacobs The US Review of Books
