KUDOS FOR SOLARTOPIA!


"Harvey Wasserman is truly an original"...Studs Terkel


“The dream of a green-powered 'Solartopian' planet has been with us for fifty years. Harvey Wasserman shows us how we can actually get there, and what our beloved Earth might actually look like once we do. It is a dream worth working for."

Bonnie Raitt


“In Harvey Wasserman’s Solartopia, energy moves in harmony with the ecosphere and all is well.  Let’s make it happen.  We have decades of joyous work ahead.” 

U.S. Representative Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio)


"Harvey Wasserman constantly provokes us and educates us, sometimes outrages us, often inspires us....He is always delightfully readable"

Howard Zinn


"Burning oil to heat our homes is about as brainless as burning our furniture, but we're told there's no real alternative to our fossil-fuel folly. Wasserman shows us that the Emperors of Oil have no clothes -- our need for more of it is a fraud. SOLARTOPIA!, despite its name, is not pie-in-the-sky but a we-can-do-it-now program that we ignore to our shame. Throw your Bible in the garbage -- THIS is the book that will save your soul."

Greg Palast, Armed Madhouse


"Harvey Wasserman's SOLARTOPIA! is a must-read for people who care about the sort of planet we will be leaving to our children and our children's children. This is the work of that rarest of minds: a visionary who is a realist, a prophet who is recognized in his own homeland"...

Tom Regan, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy, North Carolina State University, author of

Empty Cages:  Facing the Challenge of Animal Rights


SOLARTOPIA! “is a real page-turner.  Thanks for your vision, Harvey.”

Dar Williams, singer-songwriter, The Beauty of the Rain; End of the Summer.


“Really interesting history…very engagingly told.”

Paul Rogat Loeb, The Impossible Will Take a Little While.


“Thank you, thank you, thank you for giving me SOLARTOPIA! to read. It has changed my life!   SOLARTOPIA! is a breath of fresh air!   Wow. I am so inspired!”

Carol Weis, PV Program Coordinator, Solar Energy International


"Harvey Wasserman's SOLARTOPIA!  OUR GREEN-POWERED EARTH, A.D. 2030, uses the science-fiction form to explain the viability of solar, wind, solar-based Hydrogen fuel cells, ocean-based clean energy technologies and, from the clean, green perspective of the year 2030, he critiques the terrible choices of ‘King Cong’ (Coal, Oil, Nuclear and Gas!) made in the long-ago 20th and early 21st century. It's a very instructive book and a pleasure to read, leaving this reader with a sense of optimism, hope and a renewed commitment to work for a new, sane energy policy in this country and the world."

Mitzi Bowman, Coordinator

Don't Waste Connecticut; member Ct. Coalition Against Millstone


“A great vision of the future we are trying to make!”

Walt Musial, National Renewable Energy Laboratory


“A wonderful way to educate the masses about Green. Fast paced, informative, and accessible, it lays it all out. It flows nicely and the narrative is engaging. I learned a lot.

Dr. Leonard Shlain, best-selling author of  Art and Physics:  Parallel Visions in Space, Time & Light; and Sex, Time and Power:  How Women’s Sexuality Shaped Evolution.


“Harvey Wasserman is not only a great writer, he’s a great visionary as well. SOLARTOPIA! may be a work of imagination, but it’s also a work of possibility and potential for all of us. The society depicted in SOLARTOPIA! not only meets our aspirations; it can be our future if we strive for its achievement—and it is a future well worth our greatest efforts. Step inside Solartopia and see the wonders of a sustainable world, and then step outside and take the actions needed to make it a reality.

Michael Mariotte, Executive Director, Nuclear Information & Resource Service


Harvey Wasserman's SOLARTOPIA! reflects "a most unusual mind which both spans and bridges realms of time and space to create a vision of what is possible in a world that appears to be headed towards disaster..."

Noel Abbott, Land Use Committee, Rensselaerville, New York;  Trustee, the Kripalu Trust


"Politicians and the corporate media are slowly finding the courage to talk seriously about Global Warming and our destructive energy addictions. But their vague solutions flounder far behind their dire predictions. SOLARTOPIA! sets forward an ambitious, yet achievable, vision for our energy future. It takes a visionary like Harvey Wasserman to imagine and articulate the future that we all must now work to achieve."

Eddie Scher, Editor, Waterkeeper Magazine.
