Energy Challenges and OpportunitiesBill Gates suggests that if we don't have innovations in energy we don't improve much at all. This book explores how physical and biological processes interchange different forms of energy and how electric energy is generated. It explores how fossil fuels will run out in the near future, the challenges associated with using them and the need to move to alternative sources of energy. The book calls for innovation and a move to cost effective, efficient and non polluting energy sources, which can include solar energy, wind energy, water (hydro) energy and hydrogen fuel. |
