The Dirty Secrets of Clean Energy
and the Future of Environmentalism
Ozzie Zehner
University of Nebraska Press
Lincoln and London
“In this terriʈc book, Ozzie Zehner explains why most current approaches
to the world’s gathering climate and energy crises are not only misguided
but actually counterproductive. We fool ourselves in innumerable ways,
and Zehner is especially good at untangling sloppy thinking. Yet Green
Illusions is not a litany of despair. It’s full of hope—which is different from
false hope, and which requires readers with open, skeptical minds.”—
David Owen, author of Green Metropolis
“Think the answer to global warming lies in solar panels, wind turbines,
and biofuels? Think again. . . . In this thought-provoking and deeply
researched critique of popular ‘green’ solutions, Zehner makes a convincing
case that such alternatives won’t solve our energy problems; in fact, they
could make matters even worse.”—Susan Freinkel, author of Plastic: A
Toxic Love Story
“There is no obvious competing or comparable book. . . . Green Illusions
has the same potential to sound a wake-up call in the energy arena as was
observed with Silent Spring in the environment, and Fast Food Nation in
the food system.”—Charles Francis, former director of the Center for
Sustainable Agriculture Systems at the University of Nebraska
“This is one of those books that you read with a yellow marker and end up
highlighting most of it.”—David Ochsner, University of Texas at Austin
