Description

Our civilisation stands on the brink of catastrophe. In three generations we have consumed half the world's oil produced over eight million generations. With threats from global warming, fossil fuel depletion and nuclear disaster, we are running out of options. Solar power, Keith Barnham argues, is the only solution. He explains how Einstein's famous equation E=mc2 led to the widespread use of nuclear energy, while another of Einstein's equations, one that has given us the laptop and the mobile phone, has been largely overlooked. It is this equation that holds the key to exploiting energy generated by the sun. A fascinating guide to renewable technology and a critique of the energy industry, The Burning Answer is, above all, an impassioned call-to-arms to join the solar revolution now, before it's too late.
