"[A] stirring and closely argued account of how cheap solar energy now offers us a chance of not only tackling climate change on time, but of remaking our economies and our relationship to the natural world."

- James Dinneen - New Scientist,

"No journalist has covered the climate story longer or better than Bill McKibben... Here Comes the Sun [is] an essential read for anyone interested in where the climate story is heading."

- Mark Hertsgaard - Nation,

"An encouragingly positive story... Like all [McKibben’s] best work, [Here Comes the Sun] ends with a call to activism in pursuit of a better world. The difference this time is that technology offers a clear path to achieving it."

- Jon Turney - Literary Review,

Every eighteen hours, the world puts up a nuclear power plant’s–worth of solar panels. At the same time, combustion continues to melt the poles, poison our bodies and drive global inequality. It is no longer necessary: For the first time in 700,000 years, we know how to catch the sun’s rays and convert them into energy. In Here Comes the Sun, Bill McKibben tells the story of the spike in power from the sun and wind. McKibben traces the arrival of plentiful, inexpensive solar energy, which, if it accelerates, gives us a chance not just to limit climate change’s damage but to reorder the world. Getting there means overcoming obstacles like Big Oil, but McKibben sees a chance for a new civilisation that looks to the sun as the star that fuels our world.
