This book is one man's fantasy about where we need go with electricity and water for a sustainable future. The book is very readable and offers food-for-thought and some interesting ideas. But mostly it is another anti-nuclear and anti-utility book that offers little in real factual information and is frequently misleading.
Real solutions to the challenges facing us moving to a sustainable energy future will not be found by glossing over the technical and financial difficulties. Be sure to balance this book with others that provide detailed information of solar, wind, and nuclear technology.
