"This text argues we're not going to solve the energy problem by convincing everyone to live like it's 1900 because that's not a good thing.

We'll need them all. When you look at the numbers, you'll find that we'll still be using fossil fuels, nuclear, and renewables for decades to come. Looks at new battery technology, smart grids, passive buildings, decentralized generation, clean coal, and carbon sequestration. These are buzzwords now, but they'll be a part of your world soon. For many people, they already are"--,Provided by publisher.
