商品描述

More than 80% of the energy we generate and consume on this planet comes from burning hydrocarbons – a practice that is clearly unsustainable -- yet we (especially Americans) are making dreadfully little progress in migrating to solar, wind, geothermal, hydrokinetics and biomass. Whether our concerns are environmental, economic, military, or whether we feel some level of sympathy for the people who suffer and die each year from respiratory ailments directly related to the aromatics caused by burning fossil fuels, we need to acknowledge that the world will, at a certain point, be forced in another direction. So why not now? Why are we so slow to make a change here, when it’s so clear that our love affair with dirty energy cannot continue? Author, speaker, and business consultant Craig Shields has spoken with many hundreds of people on this topic over the past two years, and has amassed a considerable amount of information on the subject. Following up his Amazon.com #1 best-selling energy book Renewable Energy – Facts and Fantasies, Shields presents this moving summary of his most recent conversations.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

超過80%的能源來自於燃燒碳氫化合物——這種做法顯然是不可持續的——然而我們(尤其是美國人)在轉向太陽能、風能、地熱能、水動能和生物質能方面的進展卻非常緩慢。無論我們的關注點是環境、經濟、軍事,還是對每年因燃燒化石燃料所產生的芳香烴而直接導致的呼吸疾病而受苦和喪生的人們感到某種程度的同情,我們都需要承認,世界在某個時刻將被迫朝著另一個方向發展。那麼,為什麼不現在就開始呢?當我們明確知道與髒能源的戀情無法繼續時,為什麼我們在這方面的改變如此緩慢?作者、演講者和商業顧問Craig Shields在過去兩年中與數百人就此主題進行了交談,並積累了大量相關資訊。在他的亞馬遜暢銷書《可再生能源——事實與幻想》的後續中,Shields呈現了他最近對話的感人總結。
