America’s Energy Past and Renewable Possibilities

Amanda Little frames America’s energy story as a national history shaped by dependence on oil and coal, linking those fuels to the country’s international power as well as to political and environmental risks. The book looks forward alongside that history, presenting renewable energy as part of a broader shift in how the United States might meet its energy needs. Positioned as a big-picture account rather than a technical manual, it brings together questions of industry, environmental consequences, and public choices around the energy transition. This large-print edition offers the same unabridged text in a more accessible format.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in U.S. energy history and renewable-energy debates
  • Those seeking a broad, nontechnical perspective on oil, coal, and solar power
  • Readers interested in the political and environmental stakes of energy dependence

Book overview

Power Trip is an adventurous, wonk-free, big-picture, solutions-oriented narrative by leading young journalist Amanda Little that maps out the history and future of America's energy addiction. Infused with next-generation candor and optimism, Power Trip examines the ways in which oil and coal have shaped America as an international superpower--even as they posed political and environmental dangers to the nation and the world. Hard-hitting yet optimistic, Power Trip is a manifesto for the younger generations who are inheriting the earth.
