Written by the After Oil Collective, the book examines how renewable energy is being marshaled to sustain existing systems of inequality and exploitation under a banner of techno-optimism and green growth. It introduces the concept of the \"renewable normal\" to describe a regime of energy transition that promises transformation but delivers continuity, repackaging fossil-fueled modernity in a low-carbon disguise. Over four chapters, the volume explores how this regime captures hopes for climate solutions while closing down the very possibilities it appears to open. Rather than offering prescriptive solutions or utopian blueprints, \u003ci\u003eThe Renewable Normal\u003c\/i\u003e urges a disposition to readiness: recognizing openings in the present, embracing the unruly rhythms of renewable life, and struggling collectively for transformative change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt stake is a call to think and act beyond the limits of the current regimes of renewability in support of justice, freedom, and the renewal of collective existence. Recognizing that climate crisis demands collective labor, \u003ci\u003eThe Renewable Normal\u003c\/i\u003e aims to encourage new forms of inquiry in the challenges involved in energetic and social renewal as a genuinely transformative possibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e After Oil Collective\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 149624933X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496249333\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.34d","brand":"After Oil Collective","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49097225371903,"sku":"9781496249333","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/renewable-normal-after-oil-collective-9781496249333","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
