"There is a cost to addressing climate change, but it will make us richer, happier, healthier, safer and more equal. Do we take the bargain? That is the animating question of Akshat Rathi's illuminating and incisive book, which offers the dazzling and deeply reported argument that the answer should be, overwhelmingly, yes."
--David Wallace-Wells, author of The Uninhabitable Earth and New York Times columnist

--Kim Stanley Robinson, author of The Ministry for the Future

"It's cheaper than ever to fix, and much less expensive than protecting the status quo. Akshat Rathi guides us through the staggering innovations--and heroes--that make a clean energy future possible. This book provides a much-needed dose of optimism--based on data, not blind hope--that we can step up to the challenge."
--Hannah Ritchie, lead researcher for Our World In Data

"Akshat Rathi skillfully lays out the irony that capitalism may be the source of but also the solution to our climate change problems. Using examples of technologies and national plans, he shows how we need a new form of capitalism, where corporations, governments and people will have to align. It can be done."
--Rahul Tongia, senior fellow at the Centre for Social and Economic Progress
