Why read it?
1 author picked Energy as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I learned a lot from this book about the development of energy sources over the centuries, and how this history both leads to our current predicament with climate change and offers a path to solutions.
This history also points out that this is not the first time that we’ve needed to transition from one energy economy to another, and our past successes show that we can be successful again. I also enjoyed the descriptions of potential future solutions, including the book’s excellent discussion of nuclear energy.
From Jeffrey's list on the science, consequences, and solutions to global warming.
