Description (excerpt):
If the United States and China find a way to realistically base and sustain their cooperation in clean en- ergy, they will be addressing directly 40 percent of the world’s total carbon emissions. And if together they manage to create a replicable model of co- operation, they can indirectly help the world address the remaining 60 per- cent. At its core, this topic touches everyone—those who care deeply about America’s place in the world, those who are moved by China’s epochal reemergence, those who are environmentally-engaged, and those who are responsible global citizens. Students are a particularly important audience because the tectonic issue described in this book will ultimately be the felt experience of their generation.
