His two latest books, [Winning the Oil Endgame](http://www.rmi.org/Winning%20the%20Oil%20Endgame), and [Reinventing Fire](http://www.triplepundit.com/2011/11/reinventing-fire-cuts-carbon-82-saving-5-trillion/), lay out in detail the ways that our society can wean itself off of oil, coal and nuclear through a smart deployment of renewables, efficiency, with a bit of natural gas thrown in as a bridge fuel, all while growing the economy by double digits.
