Here Comes the Sun

Our climate and our democracy are melting down, but there’s hope. Bill McKibben, a climate crisis pioneer, sees immense possibility in the rise of solar and wind energy, now the cheapest power source, growing faster than any other.

Here Comes the Sun reveals the surge in solar and wind power and the fossil fuel industry’s fight to suppress it. From citizens installing solar panels equivalent to a third of Pakistan’s grid, to California nearly halving its natural gas use, McKibben highlights the arrival of abundant, affordable solar energy.

Solar power offers more than just a climate solution, it presents a chance to rebuild our world on a fairer, more humane foundation. Solar energy is accessible to all; it can’t be hoarded.

While success isn’t guaranteed, McKibben believes this is our best hope for a new civilization, one that looks to the sun as the source that fuels our world.
