'The fossil-fuel era was marked by inequality and dominated by oligarchs. David Toke provides a vision of how, in the renewable era, shared ownership of energy could lead to a future of equality and economic as well as energy security.' -- Molly Scott Cato, Professor Emerita of Green Economics, Roehampton University 'Toke doesn't mince words. His title alone says it all. What's needed is not a transition from fossil fuels, as COP 28 meekly requested, but a revolution in how we procure, distribute, and use energy. But Toke boldly goes further, calling for a revolution in who gets to develop and own our renewable future. In doing so, he takes on the axis of evil, Reagan-Thatcherism, and their destructive cult of neoliberalism that has shackled renewable energy for decades to the benefit of fossil fuels and their minions.' -- Paul Gipe, author of 'Wind Energy for the Rest of Us' 'The future of Humankind depends on the choices we make about future energy systems. Those choices will be ideologically-driven: will Western governments go on prioritising obscene corporate profits at the expense of genuine energy security, lower prices and radical decarbonisation? David Toke authoritatively demonstrates how insane that would be - and what brilliant alternatives are already available to us.' -- Jonathon Porritt, author of 'Hope in Hell: A decade to confront the climate emergency'
