Fossil fuels may be keeping the world running, but they're also
destroying the planet. What viable alternatives do we have, and
what technological breakthroughs are on the horizon? In this
brilliantly wide-ranging, one-stop guide WIRED journalist Nicole
Kobie outlines the environmental threats we face through our
reliance on carbon-based energy, and considers whether and when
sustainable energy can take its place. She looks at the major
technologies currently available - solar, wind and geothermal among
them - explaining how they work and what potential they possess.
She shows how electricity supply is being transformed by advances
in storage and distribution. She assesses how each form of energy
is being adapted to serve our industrial and domestic needs. And
she addresses the fundamental question: can the world's energy
supply become fully sustainable within the next decade?
