Reviews

With all the justified excitement around the fracking revolution it's crucial not to lose sight of the ultimate importance of renewables and energy efficiency. Mara Prentiss has written a highly valuable, scientifically grounded guide to the great things that are possible in both these spheres.--Lawrence H. Summers, Charles W. Eliot University Professor and President Emeritus at Harvard University


[Prentiss] steers a steady course between the wishful thinking and despair that so often colors discussions of energy. Carefully optimistic, the author thinks a combination of renewable power sources could meet 100 percent of the U.S. average total energy demand for the foreseeable future, even without waste reduction Delightful, deadpan flashes of wit enliven the text throughout Readers looking for answers on the feasibility of renewables will find the straight talk refreshing.--Robert Eagan Library Journal (04/15/2015)
