The “debate” about human contribution to global warming,
reduction of energy consumption, and sustainable energy sources is
rife with corporate vested interests, prejudice, mis-information, and
inconsistency. So, nothing new there then. However, in a sincere and generous attempt to clarify at least the issues
regarding sustainable energy, David MacKay, Professor of Natural Philosophy at
Cambridge University, has written, and made available online, an excellent and
wide-ranging analysis, Sustainable Energy Without the Hot Air. Whilst his data
is mainly focussed on the UK, many of the conclusions appear to be more widely
applicable, and should make interesting reading for anyone who cares about the
future of the planet.
