Getting to Zero

The May 2019 special issue of In These Times magazine, “Getting to Zero,” features an article by TDC co-founder Gar Alperovitz and Research Associate Johanna Bozuwa calling for public control of electric utilities to remove a major impediment to the green transition. The issue also includes an article on “How to Bury the Fossil Fuel Industry” by Kate Aronoff that draws on The Next System Project’s “quantitative easing for the planet” proposal. A recent article in The Guardian also highlights the potential of quantitative easing and the role of public ownership to manage a decline of the fossil fuel industry.
