Powering the Future: A Scientist’s Guide to Energy Independence
Read an excerpt of Powering the Future.
In Powering the Future, Dr. Dan Botkin objectively assesses the pros and cons of every leading and emerging source of energy: oil, natural gas, hydroelectric, nuclear, wind, solar, ocean power and biofuels. With his typical Thoreauvian skepticism, he pursues scientific truth untainted by hype, bias or so-called conventional wisdom. His findings may be shocking. For instance, the book will reveal:
- What is the simplest way to cut America’s energy use by 6 percent
- Why conventional nuclear energy cannot be a major energy source for us
- Why natural gas can’t be one either without leading to widespread pollution and land destruction
- What energy source is the cheapest and right beneath your feet, yet little talked about
Most important, Dr. Botkin offers a solid, practical, realistic plan for a safe, stable, sustainable energy future that does not sacrifice our quality of life or the environment. The time to hesitate is through. It’s time to make the transition to energy independence.
