called powering the midwest. we knew in the 90s that renewables were ready, that energy efficiency was ready and we needed to make a transition. so, a couple of years ago, we had been working on fracking at food and waiter watch at as the first national group to call for a ban on fracking, and i started looking at some of the statistics about how far we had come with renewables since the mid-1990s when i worked on this project. and it was stunning. as of 2015, only five percent of our electricity is generated from solar and wind energy. we need to do so much better and, yet, here in a state like massachusetts, where you re not really suffering from fracking, but you are suffering from all of the infrastructure to really promote fracking and allow it to expand. so, i decided to write this book because you really need to know where you ve been to know where you re going, and i wanted to see how we d ended up with this mon knoppizeed oil and gas industry that has so muc ....
