Sustainable Energy - Without the Hot Air

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.
