Description

More Energy, Clean Planet makes the case that cheap, clean energy is the climate strategy with the physics to actually work. Keri Waters, an engineer and three-decade hardware operator, lays out the case for Engineered Optimism: the view that climate is an engineering problem we can finally afford to solve. Her hundred-year plan, High-Energy Repair, is rigorous and buildable. Reach net zero. Draw down two thousand gigatons of legacy carbon. Restore pre-industrial atmospheric chemistry. The work is sequenced, the economics are known, and entrepreneurial capital drives it. Readers will learn: Why solar became the cheapest electricity in human history and what falling energy costs unlock next How AI hyperscalers and the race for industrial dominance are accidentally bankrolling the clean energy buildout The real math behind carbon removal and when it becomes viable at scale Why fracking technology is now scaling enhanced geothermal, and what that means for the cost curves of manufactured energy. Waters writes from inside the operator-and-investor world, focused on cost curves, real buyers, and the founders already building in emerging markets. The path forward is more.
