A user's guide to the solar revolution - and why we must all get on
board, before it is too late. We are a cusp civilisation. In just
over three generations, we have consumed approximately half the
useful oil which took photosynthesis around two million years to
produce. In approximately two generations we have used around half
our useful uranium resources. We are faced with an urgent choice,
the roots of which, Keith Barnham explains, lies in 1905 with the
discovery of Einstein's 'other' equation, E = hf. By an
extraordinary coincidence, this little-known equation, which began
the quantum revolution and could hold the key to our future
survival through the generation of electricity from sunlight, was
discovered in the same year as E = mc2, the equation that threatens
to destroy us. This book will investigate the reasons why
scientists exploited the equation E = mc2 for energy generation
much faster than E = hf, putting our civilisation on an
ever-sharper knife edge. But THE BURNING ANSWER is as much about
solutions as problems. Through his groundbreaking research, Keith
Barnham offers the controversial promise that, despite our much
higher energy demands now than in earlier periods of human
evolution, our sun can provide all our primary energy needs again.
The sunlight falling on the earth in one hour is more than enough
to supply all the energy demands of humankind for one year. This
solar technology can save us from the threats of global warming,
diminishing oil resources, and nuclear disaster -- provided we
don't allow politics to stand in our way.
