In "Speed & Scale: An Action Plan for Solving Our Climate Crisis Now," John Doerr, a renowned author and investor, delivers a compelling manifesto on the urgent need for immediate, collective action to combat climate change. With the clock ticking towards irreversible damage, Doerr presents a meticulously crafted roadmap to halve carbon emissions by 2030 and achieve Net Zero by 2050. Drawing on the pragmatic framework of Objectives and Key Results (OKRs), he translates the monumental challenge of climate change into achievable goals, leveraging the same strategies that have propelled small ideas into global revolutions. Doerr orchestrates a chorus of voices from the forefront of the climate movement, including luminaries like Bill Gates and Al Gore, to illustrate the multifaceted approach required to avert disaster. "Speed & Scale" transcends mere advocacy, offering a detailed action plan that addresses the technological, political, and social dimensions of the crisis. This book is not only a blueprint for policymakers and business leaders but a rallying cry for every global citizen to play a part in securing a sustainable future. With Doerr's clear-eyed vision and unparalleled expertise, "Speed & Scale" emerges as an essential guide for navigating the complexities of climate action with urgency and precision.

The impact of complete electrification cannot be overstated, and it goes beyond climate change. Each year, tiny particles from tailpipes and power plants cause 350,000 premature deaths in the United States alone and one of five worldwide. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, this pollution is linked to heart disease and lung cancer. Electrifying transportation is more than a cornerstone of our net-zero plan. It’s essential to curbing deadly diseases that disproportionately plague poorer countries and communities of color. It is a matter of life and death.
