The end of energy obesity : breaking today's energy addiction for a prosperous and secure tomorrow / by Tertzakian, Peter.(CARDINAL)278021; Hollihan, Keith.(CARDINAL)468183;
MARCIVE 09/21/09Includes bibliographical references (pages 279-287) and index.Pt. 1: The making of our energy appetite. After the banquet ; Whetting the energy appetite ; The first principle of energy consumption ; The world's factory -- Pt. 2: Elusive solutions. Breaking our energy diet ; Price and value ; Eating our efficiencies ; Complex carbons ; The maddening allure of the first principle -- Pt. 3: Thinking out of the box. The asymmetry principle ; Beyond nostalgia ; Conservation 2.0 ; Dissolving distance ; A low-carb, highly-scaleable diet ; The energy health craze -- Epilogue: Leadership on the commons.Nearly everything that defines our way of life requires energy-consuming devices, from cars, planes, trains, and air conditioning to lights and computers. And our global appetite for energy keeps growing as population and wealth obliges consumption on an unfathomable scale. Energy economist Peter Tertzakian explores how the world can reduce its energy appetite and change its diet of fuels for a prosperous and secure tomorrow, focuses on the most practical options that provide the highest leverage for resolving our energy problems, and reveals how evolving habits, lifestyles, mindsets and innovations--that might seem improbable now--will help curb our insatiable energy appetite.--From publisher description.

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?

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.
