Synopsis
The forecasts are grim and time is running out, but that's not the end of the story.

Among them: a frontier impresario who keeps his ice hotel frozen all summer long with the energy of hot springs; a utility engineer who feeds smokestack gases from coal-fired plants to voracious algae, then turns them into fuel; and a tribe of Native Americans, for two thousand years fishermen in the roughest Pacific waters, who are now harvesting the fierce power of the waves themselves.These entrepreneurs are poised to remake the world's biggest business and save the planet--if America's political leaders give them a fair chance to compete., Krupp, longtime president of the Environmental Defense Fund, joins with co-author Horn to reveal how to harness the forces of capitalism to save the world from catastrophe., How to harness the great forces of capitalism to save the world from catastrophe.
