Molto interessante,una visione oggettiva su argomenti spesso "vittime" di luoghi comuni lontani dalla verit? scientifica.Pregio e difetto: sono presenti tanti numeri. Pregio perch?? permette di quantificare l'efficacia delle varie forme di energia e i costi/benefici connessi; difetto perch?? rende la lettura "arida" e a tratti faticosa. Informative and confronting. This challenged a bunch of my views on energy policy and conservation, which was a little unsettling at times. I'm reminded from other books I've read to remember that even science isn't free of personal biases, but I'd like to hope this was fair and balanced. Very thought provoking. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
The near-meltdown of Fukushima, the upheavals in the Middle East, the BP oil rig explosion, and the looming reality of global warming have reminded the president and all U.S. citizens that nothing has more impact on our lives than the supply of and demand for energy. Its procurement dominates our economy and foreign policy more than any other factor. But the "energy question" is more confusing, contentious, and complicated than ever before. We need to know if nuclear power will ever really be safe. We need to know if solar and wind power will ever really be viable. And we desperately need to know if the natural gas deposits in Pennsylvania are a windfall of historic proportions or a false hope that will create more problems than solutions. Richard A. Muller provides all the answers in this must-listen guide to our energy priorities now and in the coming years. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

The incredible aspect of this is how unlikely any future president might read and actually understand the claculations here.
I would love to read a critique of this text by another as brilliant physicist. ( )
