Description: "As fossil fuel prices rise, oil insecurity deepens, and concerns about climate change cast a shadow over the future of coal, a new energy economy is emerging. Wind, solar, and geothermal energy are replacing oil, coal, and natural gas, at a pace and on a scale we could not have imagined even a year ago. For the first time since the Industrial Revolution, we have begun investing in energy sources that can last forever. Plan B: Mobilizing to Save Civilization explores both the nature of this transition to a new energy economy and its effect on our daily lives."--Container.

"Plan B has four components: one is cutting cabon emissions 80% by 2020; two, stabilizing population at no more than 8 billion; three, eradicating poverty; and fourth, restoring the Earth's natural systems."--Narration.
Notes: Based on the book by Lester R. Brown.
