Environmental Defense Fund President Fred Krupp has a compelling Op-Ed piece in today’s Wall Street Journal. He says that, “Solving global warming will be an added cost, yes – but a bargain compared with the economic cost of unchecked climate change.” The winners of the race to reinvent energy stand to make megafortunes. Here’s some of what’s in the works:

Last week I wrote about the TreeHugger interview with EDF President Fred Krupp and Miriam Horn about their new book. Earth: The Sequel is an engaging look at emerging technology in the fight to stop global warming.
Fred has been getting around quite a bit lately. This week he also was interviewed by Forbes, Newsweek, and Mercury News. Each had a slightly different focus. Here are some excerpts:

In yesterday’s post, Environmental Defense Fund President Fred Krupp wrote about his new book with Miriam Horn, Earth: The Sequel.
The popular environmental blog Treehugger just published an interview with them about the book and their experiences writing it. They discuss emerging clean energy technology, and give interesting anecdotes about people they met along the way. Here are some excerpts:

Earth: The Sequel tells the story of an exciting race that is just beginning – the race to develop low-carbon energy in time to turn our greatest environmental crisis into our greatest economic opportunity.
Many people have expressed surprise that I’d write a book like this about a problem so serious. And global warming is serious. With each passing year, scientists get more and more alarmed at the increase and extent of disturbing impacts. But this book is not about the doom and gloom of global warming. In fact, it’s just the opposite.

There’s a new book coming out on Monday that explores the hopeful side of global warming. Huh? What’s that?
It’s called "Earth: The Sequel", written by Fred Krupp (president of EDF) and Miriam Horn, and it’s all about emerging technology in the fight to stop global warming. There are trillions of dollars pouring into clean energy solutions, and people are doing such cool things.
You can learn more about the book from an informative video narrated by Fred. You also can pre-order the book from here.

I think it could be useful/interesting to have some sort of a comparison or perspective of how much oil is being consumed by the U.S. and the world. … Like every x number of minutes the U.S. consumes x number of Olympic-size swimming pools of oil. I really don’t have a concept of the massive amount of oil we are using – x barrels of oil doesn’t translate into something I can plug into my world.
I put this question to one of our numbers experts, Noah Greenberg, and here’s what he told me.
