The English edition of China's New Energy Revolution by renewable energy advocate and Hanergy Chairman Li Hejun is now available for purchase in bookstores across the U.S. as well as in e-book format.
Last month, representatives from more than 190 nations met in Lima, Peru, in an attempt to hammer out a global framework towards a sustainable future. Mr. Li offers in his book a promising way forward: Thin-film solar power, the zero-emissions renewable energy form that can revolutionize how China, the U.S., and everywhere else produces and consumes energy.
Speaking about the book, economic and social theorist and bestselling author Jeremy Rifkin said, "Li Hejun spells out clearly and convincingly why clean energy is poised to drive the third industrial revolution. Solar technology is going to play an increasingly critical role in the transition to a global economy powered by renewable energy. His vision, once a far-stretch of the imagination, is rapidly becoming a reality. The ideas presented in this book will affect not only China, but the globe."
In his book, published by McGraw-Hill Education, he explains why thin-film solar technology, with its superior flexibility, exceptional performance under weak sunlight conditions, and wide market adaptability is poised to become the energy of choice. He points out that in addition to conventional applications like rooftop installations, thin-film can be integrated into building components and its ease of portability and resilience to environmental factors makes it ideal for powering our daily lives on everything from mobiles and automobiles to jackets and camping gear.
Mr. Li goes on to show how every industrial revolution has in fact been an energy replacement - first with coal for wood, then oil for coal - and now, he believes we are on the brink of a third industrial revolution that will be powered by clean energy, with thin-film solar at the forefront.
