  • Energy in Australia

    Peak Oil, Solar Power, and Asia’s Economic Growth

    by Graham Palmer ...
    Series series Energy (R0)
    With rapidly declining costs and seemingly unlimited sunshine, the choice of solar in Australia seems obvious. Yet despite its many advantages, homes with solar remain completely dependent on the electricity grid for reliable supply, which in Australia implies mostly coal-fired generation. Indeed, even countries that have invested heavily in solar, such as Spain and Germany, have been unable to ... Read more

  • The Nuclear Imperative

    A Critical Look at the Approaching Energy Crisis (More Physics for Presidents)

    by Jeff Eerkens ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    In this well documented global wake-up call, nuclear physicist Jeff Eerkens explores remedies for the impending energy crisis, when oil and natural gas are depleted. Because burning coal worsens the problem of global warming, alternate energy sources must be instituted. The Nuclear Imperative demonstrates with scientific documentation that solar, wind, and biomass power alone, while helpful, are ... Read more
