Fueling the Future: How the Battle Over Energy Is Changing Everything

by Andrew Heintzman and Evan Solomon

Fueling the Future: How the Battle Over Energy Is Changing Everything Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:


From trips to the market to lighting entire cities, power is pivotal to the simplest of everyday necessities. Wars are fought over it, the planet is polluted by it, but now its price has become too high. Are we capable of shifting to cleaner, safer, more reliable sources of energy?

Fueling the Future gathers the best and brightest minds in the field: thinkers like Jeremy Rifkin, L. Hunter Lovins, and Allison MacFarlane and uses their collective wisdom to tackle this pressing question from several angles. The experts predict what a world without oil, which is estimated to run out in 50 years, would be like. What new energy alternatives are available? The use of hydrogen and fuel cells is examined, with surprising conclusions. Fresh, efficient prose makes the experts' controversial answers readable and engaging, as well as thought provoking.
