À propos de cet audio

In Powering the Future, Nobel laureate Robert B. Laughlin transports us two centuries into the future, when we’ve ceased to use carbon from the ground. Boldly, Laughlin predicts no earth-shattering transformations will have taken place. Six generations from now, there will still be soccer moms, shopping malls, and business trips. Firesides will still be snug and warm.

How will we do it? Not by discovering a magic bullet to slay our energy problems but through a slew of fascinating technologies, drawing on wind, water, and fire. Powering the Future is an objective yet optimistic tour through alternative fuel sources, set in a world where we’ve burned every last drop of petroleum and every last shovelful of coal.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“The value of the book rests in the author’s thought-provoking assessment and his relentless faith in the earth…A work of intricate research free of hype, offering serious pros and cons with a sometimes whimsical flourish.” ( Kirkus Reviews)

Les plus pertinents  
This book cherry-picks the facts and implies climate change is not a serious threat because the planet has been warm before. Wastes a huge amount of time talking about geological history to try to establish that point. Fails to consider the rapidity of change and the effect on our food and water systems. Listening feels like talking to one of those Internet twits who think they're a lot smarter than they are.

"climate change doesn't matter"
