商品簡介
Following a primer on conventional energy and energy issues, this volume overviews the US alternative energy industry in historical, technological, economic, regulatory, environmental impact, and political contexts. The last chapter covers exotic sources of renewable energy being toyed with by NASA and others: e.g., antimatter, gravity, body heat (an existing watch does so), salt power, and a space-based solar power system. The book includes 85 tables summarizing recent data and projections, and a glossary. Berinstein's resume includes running a statistical research company and being a science and technology reference librarian. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
