SUMMARY:LexCAN Climate Book Club: Here Comes the Sun by Bill McKibben
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\n\nFrom the acclaimed environmentalist\, Bill McK
 ibben\, a call to harness the power of the sun and rewrite our scientific\
 , economic\, and political future.\n\nOffsite location This book club will
  meet at the Community Center\, 39 Marrett Road\, Lexington\n\nLexCAN is p
 leased to co-sponsor a new "Climate Book Club" in partnership with Cary Li
 brary.\n\nThis month we will be discussing\, Here Comes the Sun: A Last C
 hance for the Climate and a Fresh Chance for Civilization by Bill McKibbe
 n.\n\nPLEASE REGISTER AS SPACE IS LIMITED\n\nAbout The Book\n\nOur climate
 \, and our democracy\, are melting down. But Bill McKibben\, one of the fi
 rst to sound the alarm about the climate crisis\, insists the moment is al
 so full of possibility. Energy from the sun and wind is suddenly the cheap
 est power on the planet and growing faster than any energy source in histo
 ry—if we can keep accelerating the pace\, we have a chance.\n\nHere Come
 s the Sun tells the story of the sudden spike in power from the sun and wi
 nd—and the desperate fight of the fossil fuel industry and their politic
 ians to hold this new power at bay. From the everyday citizens who install
 ed solar panels equal to a third of Pakistan’s electric grid in a year t
 o the world’s sixth-largest economy—California—nearly halving its us
 e of natural gas in the last two years\, Bill McKibben traces the arrival 
 of plentiful\, inexpensive solar energy. And he shows how solar power is m
 ore than just a path out of the climate crisis: it is a chance to reorder 
 the world on saner and more humane grounds. You can’t hoard solar energy
  or hold it in reserves—it’s available to all.\n\nThere’s no guarant
 ee we can make this change in time\, but there is a hope—in McKibben’s
  eyes\, our best hope for a new civilization: one that looks up to the sun
 \, every day\, as the star that fuels our world.
