Going Green

In Going Green, licensed Professional Engineer WH Clark strips away the political noise surrounding climate change and delivers a candid, boots-on-the-ground roadmap for real environmental action. Drawing on decades of experience in mechanical and aerospace engineering, Clark argues that the most effective solutions to the global climate crisis are not found in trillion-dollar government mandates or sweeping "e;Green New Deal"e; infrastructure projects — but in the cumulative power of individual energy conservation and rigorous, logic-driven engineering.Clark methodically dissects the hidden flaws in today's most celebrated green trends — from the supply-chain realities of electric vehicle battery production to the water costs of ethanol and the staggering environmental toll of fast fashion. In their place, he offers practical, cost-effective alternatives: sealing building envelopes, geothermal heat pumps, off-peak energy management, regenerative soil practices, and nature-based carbon sequestration through tree planting and wetland protection.Accessible yet technically grounded, Going Green is a call to personal responsibility — proving that saving the planet and saving money are not competing goals, but the same goal, achieved one household at a time.
