The transition to renewable energy is vital and fast-paced, but how
do we choose which technologies to drive this energy transition?
This timely book provides everyone interested in the renewable
energy transition with an introduction to and technical foundation
for understanding modern energy technology. It traces everyday
power generation through history, from the Industrial Revolution to
today. It examines the use of wood, coal, oil, natural gas, hydro,
and nuclear to produce energy, before discussing renewable energy
sources such as biomass, photovoltaics, concentrated solar power,
wind, wave, and geothermal. The book examines to what extent and
how each technology can contribute to a clean, green
infrastructure. The Truth About Energy explains the science and
engineering of energy to help everyone understand and compare
current and future advances in renewable energy, providing the
context to critically examine the different technologies that are
competing in a fast-evolving engineering, political, and economic
landscape.
