Life in Jharia is a version of Dantes inferno 700,000 people live in the most unimaginable conditions. Yet even though residents of Jharia say they are dying slowly every day, they also say theyll never leave. Almost 11,000 kilometres away, in the Canadian oil sands, workers and indigenous people similarly describe their complex relationship with the industry that employs them. Although fossil fuel extraction is harming the environment and impacting peoples way of life in the oil sands region, a much-needed shift to renewable energy could also leave communities without their livelihoods.Written in the form of a travelogue, Total Transition provides a whirlwind look at the global growth of renewable energy highlighting exciting developments in solar and wind energy in Canada, India, Africa and Europe, and discussing hurdles standing in the way of a total transition. Energy experts and leaders of innovative renewable energy projects share hope and optimism about the future of fossil fuel workers and their communities in an increasingly renewable world.
