An excellent read on what can be a difficult subject to explain properly.
Excellent book which quantifies many energy issues which are normally just broad-brushed. It should be a compulsory read for any aspiring politician, and for all of those we are lumbered with now, especially in the UK and USA. It's a shame that David MacKay is no longer with us, but this book is a great memorial to him. Available free as a PDF, but the paper version is nice to have and I bought it to give to unbelievers.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
