Powering the Future
- Synopsis
-
Laughlin (physics, Stanford U. and Nobel Laureate) offers a readable case for where energy will come from when the world's oil is gone. He considers the economic, ecological, and geopolitical implications of a variety of probable alternatives in a somewhat comforting upbeat tone tempered with a good amount of common sense. Some of the options he sees: solar and wind, geothermal, biofuels (such as animal waste, vegetable matter), and nuclear power. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)
