That's a good recommendation! It's a fantastic book that does a great job of simplifying the energy equations into something understandable for most people. It really should be required reading for journalists and politicians dealing with this area. I think David MacKay was (for a while anyway) in some sort of scientific advice role for the government, but I can't imagine they listen to him very often...
- aaren 13y agoDavid MacKay is Chief Scientific Advisor to the Department of Energy and Climate Change. He's been in this role since 2009. Without hot air is excellent. Look at this page [1] which shows the rough average consumption of a household in the uk, including non electrical consumption. http://www.withouthotair.com/c18/page_103.shtml http://www.withouthotair.com/c18/page_103.shtml
