Description
Our civilisation faces a critical choice. We have consumed half the oil produced by photosynthesis over eight million generations, and our reliance on high-carbon energy sources is unsustainable. In "The Burning Answer", Keith Barnham explores the connections between physics and politics that have led to our dependence on fossil fuels, and argues that a solar revolution is now necessary to overcome the threats of global warming, oil depletion and nuclear disaster. Barnham reveals the fascinating story of how Einstein's famous equation E=mc2 led to the atomic bomb, while his less famous equation has given us the technology for solar power. Some countries have already harnessed this technology, and it is not too late for us to do the same. This book outlines actions that individuals can take to make an impact now and on future generations. A solar manifesto for the new climate-aware generation, "The Burning Answer" is a thought-provoking and inspiring book that challenges readers to rethink their relationship with energy and the environment.
