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.
