简介 · · · · · · The quest for safe, secure and sustainable energy poses one
of the most critical challenges of our age. But how much
energy do we need, and can we get it all from renewable
sources? DavidMacKay sets out to find the answer through
a forensic numerical analysis of what we use and what we
can produce. His conclusions starkly reveal the difficult
choices that must urgently be taken and readers interested in
how we will power our society in the future will find this an
illuminating read. For anyone with influence on energy policy,
whether in government, business or a campaign group,
this book should be compulsory reading. This is a technically
precise and readable account of the challenges ahead.
It will be a core reference on my shelf for many years to
come.
