David MacKay has made his book “Sustainable Energy – Without the Hot Air” available without charge online. He has gathered a wealth of statistics about energy use and resources, and analyzed them with an eye to assessing how humans may live without degrading the environment upon which we rely. While an undertaking of this scope is almost certain to be rife with error and oversight, MacKay has provided a useful framework and foundation for thinking about the human condition and prospects. I see in his work evidence that we’re missing many opportunities to improve our lives by clinging to anachronistic understandings of how we may prosper. As we delay, we impoverish our future.
