Smarter Energy - We Can Have It All - Better Economy - Better Climate
Climate change and budget deficits have become bitterly divisive issues. With shrinking resources and myriad compelling demands, all spending programs are contentious. Perhaps none are more contentious than trillion dollar programs to ameliorate global warming.
As this book reveals, our crisis is energy. Our 21st century society generates energy using 19th century technology, with ruinous financial and ecological results. The U.S. spends over $1.3 trillion per year on energy — money that could instead reduce deficits and fund health, education, and a better future for everyone. Energy generation pollutes the atmosphere with greenhouse gases and poisons our air, our water, and our soil.
Current policy wrongly pursues marginal energy programs, with poor results, at a cost of over $50 billion a year.
There is a better solution: learn from nature.
This book reveals opportunities for smarter energy, promising low-cost, pollution-free solutions that will benefit the planet and everyone on it.
The solution isn’t magic. It exists everywhere throughout the universe. It has supported life for billions of years. Nature produces energy millions of times more effectively than we do, and with virtually zero pollution. With a modest effort, we have an excellent chance of mimicking nature and solving our energy crisis. We can save trillions of wasted dollars and eliminate oceans of pollution.
Smarter energy through better science is something we can all agree upon.
