An explanation of the transformation that has been taking place in the last two decades in the way people think about energy production and consumption. The book describes the energy revolution and explains why it is necessary to change the way the world works.
Energy is crucial to our technologically sophisticated society, and it is anticipated that the demand for energy will increase dramatically over the next 40 years. But the consequences of supplying this ever-increasing demand are far-reaching and dangerous. Potentially crippling financial costs are combined with political instability (eg the Middle East) and the devastating environmental impact of acid rain, global warming and pollution. Walter Patterson presents in "The Energy Alternative" a guide to the transformation that has been taking place in the last two decades in the way we think about energy production and consumption. From solar power to improvements in house insulation, this book describes the energy revolution - the conflicts, controversies and opportunities - and explains why it is necessary to change the way the world works.
