Product Description
As America confronts global climate change, this documents the problem, sets forth solutions, and challenges each of us to do our part to embrace a clean and sustainable energy future, today and in the years ahead. Doing so, she convincingly argues, will help put Americans back to work, reduce our reliance on foreign oil and create a healthier planet, for ourselves and for our children.

 Better than Al Gore November 6, 2009

This lively, well-written primer is a must for anyone who wants to understand the facts about climate change. As up-to-date as this morning's headlines, it pulls together all the current research so that readers can make up their own minds. If an informed citizenry is the best defense against tyranny (as somebody said, or should have), then the $9.95 invested in this book will be a lot more efficient than the Pentagon budget.

This is easily the best book I have read on the topic of climate change. The narrative is compelling and reads easily, but the concepts presented are some of the most important and complex of our time. Beinecke provides a clear and concise presentation of facts that will affect not just our children's and their children's world, but the world we live in today. Bravo!
I love this book! November 11, 2009

Clean Energy Common Sense is fantastic. It distills the latest science, the best informed analysis, and the most thoughtful predictions into a brisk essay that actually leaves one feeling hopeful about the future and inspired to act. Beinecke and Deans don't pull punches about the grim prospects that await us if we continue to dither. But they layout a clear roadmap that we can use to navigate toward a clean energy future if, collectively, we can only summon the political will. And this book should go a long way toward creating that political will. I highly recommend Clean Energy Common Sense to anyone who wants to participate in solving the great challenge of our generation.

Frances Beinecke hits a home run with this book!! At a time of great confusion over climate change, Beinecke states the facts in a "cut n' dry" manner! She gets right to the point and speaks in a way that any, who are interested in their world, can easily understand. I can't imagine a more important or more timely book! A concerning, wonderful and positive read! The book does not sling mud at or paint any political base with the usual arrogant paint brushes we're used to. A huge plus! It's a call to action for all of us...no matter who we are. Thanks, Ms. Beinecke!
Must read for greens and esp. for the disbelievers! February 5, 2010

I echo the other reviews. This is a must read for everyone. The clarity of the writing makes concepts easy to understand. It is extremely well-researched and nonpartisan, citing facts from governmental (Pentagon, Forest Service, etc etc) and "mainstream" sources as well as climate change studies. Answers the "objections" of those opposing climate change legislation. Please read this and then contact your legislators. I am planning to give copies to my Senators and Congressman.
