Earth First: Rethinking Energy and Ecology - Paperback

by Kody Richard (Author)

We live in an era of immense technological power-AI, data centers, and global digital infrastructure-yet we rarely question the true environmental cost. Solar and wind energy are marketed as clean, carbon-neutral solutions, but large-scale projects can damage ecosystems and destabilize local climates.

For decades, climate discussions have focused narrowly on carbon emissions and energy growth. But real sustainability depends on forests, water cycles, soils, and biodiversity-not just megawatts.

This book challenges the belief that more energy, even renewable energy, can replace the ecological systems that stabilize our planet. It reveals how poorly planned "clean energy" can create real environmental harm and why true sustainability demands less energy, smarter planning, and a deeper respect for nature.

A call to rethink the myths of clean energy-and to protect the natural world that actually keeps our planet alive.
