Ending Fossil Fuels is a book about why simply scaling up clean energy isn't enough to address climate change.  We also need to plan how fossil fuel production can be ended.  Isn't this obvious?  Yes, kind of.  Are people actually making these plans?  Not to the degree needed.  Ending Fossil Fuels describes some things we can do about this.
