FalCAN presents: Can a Capitalist Combat Climate Change? November 14th

Can a Capitalist Combat Climate Change? Tom Steyer, noted venture capital investor, now a climate champion who also founded a Climate investment firm wrote Cheaper Faster Better: How We’ll Win the Climate War. (If the name Tom Steyer is familiar to you it may be because he is a former U.S. presidential candidate.) In Cheaper Faster Better he argues there is much that can be done, including using climate capitalism to bring potential climate solutions to scale and that together we can indeed “Win the Climate War.”

Tom Steyer begins the introduction with why he personally decided to leave an extremely successful Venture Capital fund and start a climate investment firm.  Each chapter contains a short message and related stories of one or two climate leaders working on the clean energy transition.  The writing is both compelling, and upbeat; at a bit more than 200 pages it is also very approachable.

Whether you agree or disagree that capitalism can help fight climate change, the local Falmouth climate action group, FalCAN, invites you to join us in discussing this engaging, easy to read book.  Copies of the book are available online and at Eight Cousins bookstore in Falmouth.  The discussion will be held on Thursday November 14 , 7:00 PM at the Falmouth Public Library, Bay Room, 300 Main St, Falmouth.

FalCAN Book Discussion Group is open to the public. To register for the event (in person and remote participation are available)  email: FalmouthCAN@gmail.com
