Last segment with Tom Friedman
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26590488/page/5/

MR. BROKAW: We're back live in Wilmington, Delaware. And with us now,
having traveled from Washington all that way, author of the new book
"Hot, Flat, and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution and How It
Can Renew America," Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist from The New
York Times, Tom Friedman.

Friedman is very vivid but a bit too glib and tends to jump from idea
to idea. I don't think I would buy his book. He had a good point to
make about "the price signal" and making that national policy instead
of surfing the market.

You may have heard of Lester Brown"s Plan 3.0. In a way Friedman is
ripping him off or popularizing a variation of what he and Al Gore
are saying.
I just downloaded the free pdf version which is available at his site
or linked from treehugger
http://www.treehugger.com/files/2008/02/book_review_pla.php
all ccxviii pages of the pdf are numbered in roman numerals for some
reason
perhaps to distinguish them from the page numbers in the actual text

Speaking of free online books about saving the world/climate/solving
the energy problem,

That reminds me that I recently downloaded Steal This Book by Abbie Hoffman from http://wiki.stealthiswiki.org/  That is a book which I once found in a used bookstore around 1980 and considered a fossil even then. Updated 2008 versions and variations have been created for online reading and downloading, for what it's worth.  

I really need to add treehugger and worldchanging links to the sidebar.
