Fusion Capitalism: A Clean Energy Vision For Conservatives

by Steve Melink

Overview

Fusion Capitalism is a conservative vision and platform for addressing one of mankind’s biggest threats. The science of climate change is now incontrovertible, so it’s time to turn threat into opportunity, ingenuity into enterprise, and leadership into American destiny.

Inside, Steve Melink tells his story about the values and traditions learned in a large family. In searching for success, he found his company, but more importantly, he found purpose. This book is a tribute to entrepreneurism and capitalism ... and the world’s most powerful energy source. While solar, wind, and battery technologies are revolutionizing the world, many politicians in Washington and state capitols are stuck in the past. Steve urges the right to get on the right side of history.

It will take bold action to win the greatest race of all time: the Clean Energy Revolution!
