But as Robert Bryce makes clear in this provocative book, that vision needs a major re-vision. We cannot--and will not--quit using carbon-based fuels at any time in the near future for a simple reason: they provide the horsepower that we crave. The hard reality is that oil, coal, and natural gas are here to stay. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFueling our society requires that we make good decisions and smart investments based on facts. In \u003ci\u003ePower Hungry\u003c\/i\u003e, Bryce crushes a phalanx of energy myths, showing why renewables are not green, carbon capture and sequestration won't work, and even--surprise!--that the U.S. is leading the world in energy efficiency. \u003ci\u003ePower Hungry\u003c\/i\u003e delivers a clear-eyed view of what's needed to transform the gargantuan global energy sector. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobert Bryce\u003c\/b\u003e is the acclaimed author of five previous books, including \u003ci\u003eSmaller, Faster, Lighter, Denser, Cheaper: How Innovation Keeps Proving the Catastrophists Wrong\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003ePower Hungry: The Myths of \"Green\" Energy and the Real Fuels of the Future\u003c\/i\u003e.
