Addressing the sustainable energy crisis in an objective manner, this enlightening book analyzes the relevant numbers and organizes a plan for change on both a personal level and an international scale--for Europe, the United States, and the world. In case study format, this informative reference answers questions surrounding nuclear energy, the potential of sustainable fossil fuels, and the possibilities of sharing renewable power with foreign countries. While underlining the difficulty of minimizing consumption, the tone remains positive as it debunks misinformation and clearly explains the calculations of expenditure per person to encourage people to make individual changes that will benefit the world at large. If you've thrown your hands up in despair thinking no solution is possible, then read this book - it's an honest, realistic, and humorous discussion of all our energy options.

Den kanske bästa och mest viktiga som har skrivits (jag har läst mycket). Lättläst, men måste ändå läsas flera gånger för att man ska smälta allt. Slår håll på allt bludder. Gör det möjligt att jämföra olika energislag. Slut på "Mycket", "viktigt". "lika mycket som 3000 villor" och andra obegripliga jämförelser. Istället begripliga ... Läs hela recensionen
