Craig Shields, editor of the popular website 2GreenEnergy.com, is the author of three previous books on renewable energy: Renewable Energy - Facts and Fantasies (2010), Is Renewable Really Doable? (2012), and Renewable Energy - Following the Money (2013). Though the books have done well (the first two were #1 best-selling energy books on Amazon), they all share common theme: a set of interviews with subject matter experts, each leaving the reader with essentially the same cautious conclusion: the migration to clean energy, while it is extremely important, faces "tough realities." "Bullish" takes a radically different tack. Most significantly, the book points to a remarkable truth: the battle has been won. The forces of market economics alone are in the process of changing so rapidly that Planet Earth is headed for a clean energy future far faster than anyone could have predicted. Here, Shields presents fourteen reasons why be believes this to be the case.

Do you get the feeling that the energy industry and the Congress that it owns are deliberately lying to you? If so, you are 100% correct. This book is a follow-on to Craig's first two book projects: "Renewable Energy-Facts and Fantasies" - published in 2010, a survey of the technology, the economics, and the politics associated with clean energy, and "Is Renewable Really Doable?" - published in 2012, a "deeper dive" into the issues preventing us as a civilization from migrating to a safe and sane energy policy. Here in "Following the Money," Shields presents another set of interviews, these associated with the effects that economics and financial power have on the course of the energy industry; after the interviews, he offers a group of short essays on the subject of energy policy and how he believes we need to navigate the waters associated with a migration to a sustainable course in energy.

More than 80% of the energy we generate and consume on this planet comes from burning hydrocarbons - a practice that is clearly unsustainable -- yet we (especially Americans) are making dreadfully little progress in migrating to solar, wind, geothermal, hydrokinetics and biomass. Whether our concerns are environmental, economic, military, or whether we feel some level of sympathy for the people who suffer and die each year from respiratory ailments directly related to the aromatics caused by burning fossil fuels, we need to acknowledge that the world will, at a certain point, be forced in another direction. So why not now? Why are we so slow to make a change here, when it's so clear that our love affair with dirty energy cannot continue? Author, speaker, and business consultant Craig Shields has spoken with many hundreds of people on this topic over the past two years, and has amassed a considerable amount of information on the subject. Following up his Amazon.com #1 best-selling energy book Renewable Energy - Facts and Fantasies, Shields presents this moving summary of his most recent conversations.
