Reviews and Recommendations
We've comprehensively compiled reviews of Energy Myths and Realities from the world's leading experts.
Bill Gates CEO/MicrosoftVaclav Smil is probably my favorite living author. If you care about energy issues, I recommend this volume, though its unvarnished look at the realities of energy use and infrastructure may be disconcerting to anyone who thinks solving our energy problems will be easy. Smil provides a rational framework for evaluating energy promises and important lessons to keep in mind if we’re to avert the looming climate crisis. (Source)
