Více o knize
The book explores the paradox of affluent Tesla drivers who, while appearing environmentally conscious, lead lifestyles that significantly contribute to carbon emissions. It critiques the disconnect between personal consumption and public environmental concerns, highlighting the unsustainability of rapid delivery services like Amazon Prime. Various energy solutions, such as solar and hydrogen, are discussed as potential ways to reduce environmental impact without burdening the economically disadvantaged. The text also examines the role of the U.S. economy in global climate efforts and the importance of promoting democratic values.
