Let there be light [videorecording] / by Aung-Thwin, Mila,film director.; Royko, Van,film director.; Gravitas Ventures (Firm),publisher.(CARDINAL)340634;
Nuclear fusion is the holy grail of energy. It's clean, abundant, and frustratingly out of reach. Obsession, fraud, and failure have destroyed many scientific careers in the world of fusion. But decades of setbacks have not stopped people from trying. The world's richest countries are pooling resources to build ITER, the most expensive scientific experiment ever. Meanwhile, entrepreneurs are also racing to create fusion, only they want to do it much faster and cheaper.DVD, wide screen.

Cheaper, faster, better : how we'll win the climate war / by Steyer, Tom,author.(CARDINAL)897049;
Introduction -- Do the obvious thing. Climate people : Tim Heidel and Steve Ashworth. -- Sharpen your bullshit detector. Climate people : Harold Mitchell -- Know what to know. Climate people : Benjamin Slotnick -- Stop rooting for the end of the world. Climate people : Priya Donti -- Think like a walk-on. Climate people : Jigar Shah -- Redefine smart. Climate people : Shreya Dave, Brent Keller, Jeffrey Grossman -- Against footprint shaming. Climate people : Marika Ziesack and Shannon Nangle -- Take the right-sized swing. Climate people : Leah Stokes -- Kindness doesn't scale. Climate people : Olivia Dippo and Andy Zhao -- Rules matter. Climate people : Mary Nichols -- Measurements make miracles happen. Climate people : Riley Duren -- Being right isn't everything -- Conclusion.The climate is changing more rapidly than scientists predicted even a few years ago, with extreme weather already touching our everyday lives. At the same time, the clean energy revolution is forging ahead faster than nearly anyone anticipated. As Tom Steyer sees it, these two trends together create a moment like the one America faced during World War II: on the one hand, an existential threat calling for collective action; on the other, an opportunity to lead the world, protect the planet, and set the stage for a new generation of shared economic prosperity. In 2012, Steyer walked away from the highly successful investment fund he founded to devote himself full time to climate issues, and he's been on the front lines of the fight ever since: funding cleantech research and businesses, spearheading clean-energy ballot measures and voter registration drives, and running for president on a climate platform. Today, he leads a climate investment firm focused on accelerating climate solutions. In this accessible book, Steyer shares his own story and showcases the inspiring and innovative work of other climate leaders in the clean-energy transition. He shows us how capitalism can be used to scale climate progress, debunks many of the arguments made by fossil fuel companies, and calls on all of us to make stabilizing our planet part of our life's work. As green technology is fast becoming cleaner and cheaper, reshaping our planet's future--and our own--has never been more crucial or within our reach.

Power hungry : the myths of "green" energy and the real fuels of the future / by Bryce, Robert.(CARDINAL)672112;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Power tripping 101 -- Happy talk -- Watt's the big deal? (Power tripping 102) -- Wood to coal to oil : the slow pace of energy transitions -- Coal hard facts -- If oil didn't exist, we'd have to invent it -- Twenty-seven Saudi Arabias per day -- Myth : wind and solar are "green" -- Myth : wind power reduces CO[subscript]2 emissions -- Myth : Denmark provides an energy model for the United States -- Myth : T. Boone Pickens has a plan (or a clue) -- Myth : wind power reduces the need for natural gas -- Myth : going "green" will reduce imports of strategic commodities and create "green" jobs -- Myth : the United States lags in energy efficiency -- Myth : the United States can cut CO[subscript]2 emissions by 80 percent by 2050, and carbon capture and sequestration can help achieve that goal -- Myth : taxing carbon dioxide will work -- Myth : oil is dirty -- Myth : cellulosic ethanol can scale up and cut U.S. oil imports -- Myth : electric cars are the next big thing -- Myth : we can replace coal with wood -- Why N2N? and why now? (the megatrends favoring natural gas and nuclear) -- A very short history of American natural gas and regulatory stupidity -- It's a gas, gas, gas : welcome to the "gas factory" -- America's secret google -- Gas pains -- Nuclear goes beyond green -- A smashing idea for nuclear waste -- Future nukes -- Rethinking "green" and a few other suggestions -- Toward cheap, abundant energy.Another contrarian assessment of America's energy situation--and the gulf between the goals of the green movement and our vast need for power--by the author of Gusher of Lies. Armed with fully footnoted facts and revealing graphics, Bryce explains why most of the hype about renewable energy and "green" technology is just that--hype. He shows why renewable sources like wind and solar are not "green" and why they cannot provide the scale of energy that the world demands. He negates the notion that the US wastes huge amounts of energy. Indeed, the facts show that over the past three decades the US has been among the world's best at reducing its energy intensity, carbon intensity, and per-capita energy use. He goes on to skewer electric cars, T. Boone Pickens, and Denmark as an "energy smart" model, and explains what will really be needed to transform the global energy sector.--From publisher description.
