Michael Warner: On the Grid, Gebunden

Klappentext

What kind of future would the utopian idea of unlimited green energy bring? On the Grid , based on Michael Warner's Berkeley Tanner Lectures, encourages us to question the sharp turn in environmental thought which addresses climate change through the form of a new power grid, driven by renewable energy and the goal to "electrify everything." Will carbon emissions be taken care of silently so individuals will only be asked to use more power? By what process --and with what kind of agency-- is the environmental future being built around and within us? On the Grid, part of the Berkeley Tanner Lectures series, starts a conversation about how the environmental tradition can better adapt to the current politics of grid reform.
