The Greentech Revolution: Will the US Be Fossil Free — or a Fossil Fuel Island?

Posted by Jamie Cantoni

by Jeremy Brecher, originally published 13 November 2026 on Z, by the Z Network, accessible here: https://znetwork.org/znetarticle/the-greentech-revolution-will-the-us-be-fossil-free-or-a-fossil-fuel-island/

This Report examines the rapid global expansion of renewable energy and other climate-saving technologies, and the political struggle over what this transformation will mean. It documents the growing feasibility of moving beyond fossil fuels, the efforts of the fossil fuel industry and its political allies to obstruct that transition, and the alternatives emerging through community, municipal, and state-level initiatives. The report argues that technology alone will not deliver a just climate future: that will require organized public action to phase out fossil fuels and ensure that the benefits of the green transition are shared broadly, rather than captured by corporations and investors.

ABOUT JEREMY BRECHER

11You and I may not know each other, but I suspect there are some problems that we share -- problems like climate change, war, and injustice. For half a century I have been participating in and writing about social movements that address those problems. The purpose of this website is to share what I've learned. I hope it provides something of use to you in addressing our common problems.

For the record, I am the author of more than a dozen books on labor and social movements. I have written and/or produced more than twenty video documentaries. I have participated in movements for nuclear disarmament, civil rights, peace in Vietnam, international labor rights, global economic justice, accountability for war crimes, climate protection, and many others.
