5.0 out of 5 stars
A Smorgasborg of Energy and Vehicle Technology Data,
This review is from: THERE IS A SILVER BULLET: PLUG-INS & BIOFUELS (Paperback)
Jim Edwards, a mechanical engineer who designed and manufactured specialty cars, digests the critical data for the most likely scenarios for the future production of energy and automobiles. He heavily discounts global warming caused by human action, but he emphasizes the extreme economic and political perils for America importing two-thirds of the oil it uses. He advocates switching to producing energy from coal, oil shale, and especially bio-fuels. He evaluates the feasibility of new energy technologies. Equally, he evaluates the potential for technologies to increase the mpg of vehicles, and even to eliminate liquid fuels.
This book is a must read for investors in electric utilities, carbon fuels, railroads, chemical companies, and manufacturers of vehicles, farm machinery, and electrical equipment. It is also a must read for those interested in the politics of energy and vehicle production. Its limitation is a failure to compare nuclear energy potential with that of carbon based energy. |
