But the presumption of net benefits from fossil fuels is eroding as widening circles of people rich and poor experience the downside. A positive transition to a post-fossil fuel era cannot wait for global agreement, a swap-in of renewables, a miracle technology, a carbon market, or lifestyle change. This book shows that it is now possible to take the first step toward the post-fossil fuel era, by resisting the slow violence of extreme extraction and combustion, exiting the industry, and imagining a good life after fossil fuels.Fossil fuelsEnergy securityEnergy policyEnvironmental degradationENVIRONMENT/GeneralSOCIAL SCIENCES/Political Science/GeneralENVIRONMENT/Environmental Politics & PolicyFossil fuels.Energy security.Energy policy.Environmental degradation.553.2Princen Thomas1951-Manno JackMartin Pamela1971-OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910825451603321Ending the fossil fuel era3976039UNINA
