New – “Energy Power Shift” describes a host of exciting emerging technologies enabling communities to produce their own transportation fuels, electricity and heat. The book argues that the US has five times the renewable energy needed for all energy services using local resources and waste streams, and that money currently spent on energy could create instead thousands of new jobs. This analysis of the science, engineering and economics of renewable energy provides a blueprint for an elegant ene

Used – In this title, the author of “Gusher of Lies” examines the hard facts of supply and demand to underscore the vast quantities of power we need, and how little of that horsepower can come from ‘renewable’ sources – and then shows that the US has vast resources at hand, if only it dares muster the political will needed to tap them. The popular appeal of ‘green jobs’ and a ‘green collar economy’ based on a ‘clean energy future’ is obvious. But the sober reality is that it has taken the U.S. m
