 And welcome to Tom Harbin University Book Club. Today we're reading from The Crash of 2016. This is one of the very last chapters. It's titled Green Revolution. Just as America now faces an unsustainable thirst for energy, so too was Germany faced with a power crisis in the late 1990s. Growing demands for electricity collided with the reality that the country has no oil reserves and a strong bias against its people, among its people, against building nuclear power plants in the wake of the nearby Chernobyl meltdown.
