Friedman's number-one bestseller \u003ci\u003eThe World Is Flat \u003c\/i\u003ehas helped millions of readers to see globalization in a new way. Now Friedman brings a fresh outlook to the crises of destabilizing climate change and rising competition for energyamp;mdash;both of which could poison our world if we do not act quickly and collectively. His argument speaks to all of us who are concerned about the state of America in the global future. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFriedman proposes that an ambitious national strategy- which he calls \"Geo-Greenism\"amp;mdash;is not only what we need to save the planet from overheating; it is what we need to make America healthier, richer, more innovative, more productive, and more secure. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs in \u003ci\u003eThe World Is Flat\u003c\/i\u003e, he explains a new eraamp;mdash;the Energy-Climate eraamp;mdash;through an illuminating account of recent events. He shows how 9\/11, Hurricane Katrina, and the flattening of the world by the Internet (which brought 3 billion new consumers onto the world stage) have combined to bring climate and energy issues to Main Street. But they have not gone very far down Main Street; the much-touted \"green revolution\" has hardly begun. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith all that in mind, Friedman sets out the clean-technology breakthroughs we, and the world, will need; he shows that the ET (Energy Technology) revolution will be both transformative and disruptive; and he explains why America must lead this revolutionamp;mdash;with the first Green President and a Green New Deal, spurred by the Greenest Generation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHot, Flat, and Crowded \u003c\/i\u003eis classic Thomas L.
