Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Starting with a review of energy use since the industrial revolution, the author analyzes the numerous threats inherent in the current approach to energy supply. He outlines how solar energy is capable of meeting all our energy needs, the consequent economic and social benefits, and addresses the counter-arguments against such a radical strategy. The final chapters cover the practical measures needed to achieve the fundamental changes implicit in this programme.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 210-218).
