For the last century, our energy system has delivered rising prosperity, increased lifespans, and largely eliminated famine. Now it is being dismantled - with confidence, with public money, and with almost no scrutiny.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this short, sharp book, Richard Lyon - electrical engineer, petroleum engineer, and energy economist - strips the energy debate back to the physics. What he finds is alarming: fossil fuels are running out, the proposed replacements can't do the job, and the people in charge don't understand the science well enough to realise, much less pursue, solutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe consequences could be severe, but they are not yet inevitable. In a series of lucid chapters, \u003cem\u003eThe Energy Trap\u003c\/em\u003e sets out the problem and proposes a way forward - provided we are willing to stop wasting our remaining resources on energy systems that can't work and get on with building one that can.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67798172696812,"sku":"9781800757356","price":32.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781800757356-the-energy-trap-1.jpg?v=1792472753"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/richard-lyon.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
