{"product_id":"electrify","title":"Electrify","description":"\u003cb\u003eAn optimistic--but realistic and feasible--action plan for fighting climate change while creating new jobs and a healthier environment: electrify everything.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eClimate change is a planetary emergency. We have to do something now--but what? Saul Griffith has a plan. In \u003ci\u003eElectrify\u003c\/i\u003e, Griffith lays out a detailed blueprint--optimistic but feasible--for fighting climate change while creating millions of new jobs and a healthier environment. Griffith's plan can be summed up simply: electrify everything. He explains exactly what it would take to transform our infrastructure, update our grid, and adapt our households to make this possible. Billionaires may contemplate escaping our worn-out planet on a private rocket ship to Mars, but the rest of us, Griffith says, will stay and fight for the future. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGriffith, an engineer and inventor, calls for grid neutrality, ensuring that households, businesses, and utilities operate as equals; we will have to rewrite regulations that were created for a fossil-fueled world, mobilize industry as we did in World War II, and offer low-interest \"climate loans.\" Griffith's plan doesn't rely on big, not-yet-invented innovations, but on thousands of little inventions and cost reductions. We can still have our cars and our houses--but the cars will be electric and solar panels will cover our roofs. For a world trying to bounce back from a pandemic and economic crisis, there is no other project that would create as many jobs--up to twenty-five million, according to one economic analysis. Is this politically possible? We can change politics along with everything else.","brand":"MIT Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45787758919727,"sku":"9780262545044","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/2855\/6847\/files\/imageloader_51ccf868-df33-4b0c-b95d-850a4e756952.jpg?v=1786149850","url":"https:\/\/tssbooks.com\/products\/electrify","provider":"tssbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
