I recommend The Power Surge for those already somewhat versed in the language of energy and energy policy. The content here is fairly dense. ![]() In spite of Mr. Levi's hopeful conclusion that all sides of the energy/environmental issues should work together for a balanced solution, the disappointing conclusion I come to is that American energy policy will probably continue down the uncertain and inefficient path it has been following for most of the past 50 years. While I hope for the best, as Mr. Levi obviously does, I remain pessimistic that American will - as expressed through our disappointing leadership - will unite to produce sensible direction for the future of energy in America. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
The United States is in the throes of two unfolding energy revolutions, and partisans - convinced that only their side holds the key to American prosperity, security, and safety - are battling over which one should prevail. In The Power Surge, Michael Levi takes readers inside theserevolutions. He shows how oil and gas production, after decades in decline, are being propelled upward by new technologies and high prices, prompting enthusiasts to predict an economic renaissance and impending energy independence. On the other side of the fight, he visits eco-startups andmanufacturers betting on a new energy future, revealing how more efficient cars and trucks are increasingly dominating the road and costs for renewable energy have plummeted, leading many to herald a starkly different future that moves beyond fossil fuels and saves the planet.Armed with on-the-ground lessons, and drawing on insights from economics, politics, international relations, and climate science, The Power Surge takes on the big claims made by both sides in the fight over American energy, explaining why the purists are often wrong. Both unfolding revolutions inAmerican energy offer big opportunities for the country to strengthen its economy, bolster its security, and protect the environment. Levi shows how to seize those with a new strategy that blends the best of old and new energy while avoiding the real dangers that each poses. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
