| Zusammenfassung: | Power generation is a relatively recent concern, because humans had little need for sustained power until the dawn of the Industrial Revolution. Modern civilization is wholly dependent on the production and distribution of power. Without it, our way of life would be extinguished. In this book, the author explores the mysterious world of power generation. He takes readers on a tour, examining the nature of energy, tracing the history of power generation, explaining the processes from production through transmission to use, and addressing questions that are often in the headlines: Is natural gas the best alternative energy source in the near term? Could solar power be the answer to our problems? Why is nuclear power such a hard sell, and are the concerns valid? Devoting individual chapters to each of the forms of power in use in the early twenty-first century - electrical, coal, oil and natural gas, hydro, nuclear, and solar - the author takes a look at the pros and cons of each, their availability worldwide, and which are in dwindling supply. |

Newton's legacy -- What all the world wants -- The vital spark -- Old king coal -- The seven sisters : old and new -- Water, water, everywhere -- Too cheap to meter -- Here comes the sun. Power generation is a relatively recent concern, because humans had little need for sustained power until the dawn of the Industrial Revolution. Modern civilization is wholly dependent on the production and distribution of power. Without it, our way of life would be extinguished. In this book, the author explores the mysterious world of power generation. He takes readers on a tour, examining the nature of energy, tracing the history of power generation, explaining the processes from production through transmission to use, and addressing questions that are often in the headlines: Is natural gas the best alternative energy source in the near term? Could solar power be the answer to our problems? Why is nuclear power such a hard sell, and are the concerns valid? Devoting individual chapters to each of the forms of power in use in the early twenty-first century - electrical, coal, oil and natural gas, hydro, nuclear, and solar - the author takes a look at the pros and cons of each, their availability worldwide, and which are in dwindling supply.
