Sustainable Energy - Without the Hot Air
David MacKay is a Cambridge University physics professor, a member of the World Economic Forum's Global Agenda Council on Climate Change, and a regular lecturer on sustainable energy.
There are so many books about sustainable energy and alternative energy on the market today that one might wonder why there is a need for yet another; however, Sustainable Energy - Without the Hot Air offers something unique - and that's a notable achievement in a genre overburdened with too many revamps using the same approach.
This enlightening book analyzes the relevant numbers and organizes a plan for change on both a personal and an international scale—for Europe, the United States, and the world. This informative reference, presented in case study format, answers questions about nuclear energy, the potential of sustainable fossil fuels, and the possibility of sharing renewable energy with foreign countries.
While emphasizing the difficulty of reducing consumption, the tone remains positive as it debunks myths and clearly explains expenditure per person to encourage people to make individual changes that will benefit the world as a whole.
If you've given up hope that a solution is possible, read this book; it's an honest, realistic, and humorous look at all of our energy options.
