Read on Twitter
In the spirit of my thread yesterday on sources about anarchism and the state, here are sources on energy, ecology, carbon, throughput, and so on.
If you read any authors, I recommend these:
D'alisa on Degrowth
Malm on Fossil Capital
Abramsky on Energy
Sovacool on Nuclear
I'm gonna link to pdfs & books in the next tweet for convenience.

Additionally, EVERY leftist should read John Bellamy Foster's 'What Every Environmentalist...'
Heinberg's Post-Carbon Reader is great
Jackson's Prosperity without Growth is a start, but make sure you read
Hahnel on Throughput and clarifying growth

I can't recommend Cronon enough:

https://www.williamcronon.net/writing/Cronon_Trouble_with_Wilderness_1995.pdf
Mitchell's 'Carbon Democracy' kicks ass

As does 'Coal and Empire'

1. Energy and Empire is a great work on nuclear and solar

A final thing I'll leave you with are the 9 planetary boundaries, and links to other threads where I have links, as this kind of PDF posting is quite tiring actually haha.
https://www.stockholmresilience.org/research/planetary-boundaries/planetary-boundaries/about-the-research/the-nine-planetary-boundaries.html

I apologize, a lot of the links I am about to link to are repeats, bc I cite them a lot. https://twitter.com/yungneocon/status/1063148888457142273
Here's some primmie stuff, it's mostly pretty bad, aesthetic wilderness worship, but it occasionally has a good insight or two https://twitter.com/yungneocon/status/1063142382500233217
Some repeats here, but yeah https://twitter.com/yungneocon/status/1085548241607901186
Materials on ground rents and land use https://twitter.com/yungneocon/status/1088959497723437057
Megathread on Overproduction with a focus on land use https://twitter.com/yungneocon/status/1041466853732823045
This article is a must read, as it demonstrates that massive waste, pollution, etc cannot be sustained absent the state underwriting, enforcing & bearing the costs of its land monopoly, cost impositions, etc https://twitter.com/yungneocon/status/995474366103277570
The above is enough to occupy anyone for a while, but it's all very good as it dispels many myths--for ex., that efficiency drives energy, that scarcity rather than over-production is the problem, that energy transitions are costless, & that states are ecologically sustainable
