“Dr. Bruce Bailey, a dedicated and visionary leader in the field of renewable energy, boldly exposes many of the critical and often ignored obstacles facing the global energy transition. This groundbreaking book delivers a compelling and unflinching examination of the profound changes and unwavering commitment that may be truly necessary to ensure the success of our collective shift toward sustainable energy.” — Jim Adams CEO-North America, Natural Power

“Bruce was ahead of his time decades ago producing the wind maps that helped spread wind energy to most US states. He has been at the front lines of the energy transition and is uniquely able to share lessons from the past and look around the corners to the future.” — Rob Gramlich Founder & President, Grid Strategies LLC

“In Power Shift, Bruce Bailey strips away the ‘green-tinted glasses’ that often color discussions of renewable energy to reveal the complex machinery actually driving the transition. Drawing on his deep experience with banks, government agencies, and developers, Bailey masterfully explains why often the transition moves slower than policy mandates suggest. From the ‘Darwinian winnowing’ of companies facing political volatility to the intricate alignment required between financial institutions and local landowners, this book provides the clarity stakeholders need to survive and thrive. This is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the ‘hidden forces’ that determine whether a project—and the transition itself—succeeds.” — Joshua Kunkel President & CEO, New Energy Equity LLC
