Description
- Over the next twenty years, the United States must cut 20 quadrillion BTU's from it's annual consumption of fossil fuels, more than 25 percent of the energy currently being used
- We have the technology to pull it off. But where should we start? What exactly needs to be done? How much will it cost? And won't such a drastic reduction of energy use destroy the American way of life?
- Science blogger and journalist Maggie Koerth-Baker presents a comprehensive analysis of the ways in which America produces, distributes, and consumes energy
- Author explains how our current systems developed, points out their strengths and weaknesses, and offers candid assessments of the time, the difficulty, and the expense involved in making radical changes to the energy systems that have shaped our lives for a hundred years
- Drawing on more than two years of research and interviews with experts on everything from our electrical grid and electric cars to fracking and passive buildings, Koerth-Baker explains what we can do, what we can't do, and why "the solution" is really a lot of solutions working together
