How to Save a Planet - On a Budget

A free, original eBook from The Energy Collective, sponsored by

How can we drive progress to a clean energy economy when governments are broke and investment is scarce?

For those concerned about the planet’s well-being, it’s one of the crucial questions of our time, one that may have implications for our environment for generations. In a time of financial scarcity, our goal at TheEnergyCollective.com is to figure out how companies and governments can shift to greener, cleaner consumption of energy, and, most importantly, how they will pay for the infrastructure projects that are essential to limiting our output of climate change-causing greenhouse gases.

To that end, we conversed with a diverse group of experts and examined case studies that describe viable solutions to our climate crisis in the midst of an economic crisis. We hope this content will be of interest to energy professionals looking to learn about where the industry is going, those in cleantech interested in financing solutions, those in government hoping to improve local infrastructure, and advocates, journalists, policymakers and policy wonks looking for the latest insight on market solutions to climate problems.

We cover:

Paying the true cost of energy through carbon pricing
Can carbon markets drive green innovation and infrastructure?
Public-private cooperation for a greener economy
The economic case for green infrastructure
Cleantech startups and the venture capital funding climate
Federal policy and cleantech
