Richard Heinberg
In his writing, Richard Heinberg often examines the urgent need to transition away from fossil fuels. A senior fellow in residence at the Post-Carbon Institute, his latest book is titled The End of Growth: Adapting to Our New Economic Reality, which looks at the limits of continued growth that will result from an eventual dearth of resources, especially carbon-based energy. His body of work includes ten books, but these are not merely cautionary tales — Heinberg’s work offers a hopeful and realistic way of living for a future that is just and sustainable.
