Energy Options for a Low-Carbon Future Practical solutions for meeting our energy demands while combatting climate change on a large scale, from ""the David Suzuki of Britain.""Respected, authoritative, award-winning author **Chris Goodall** adds new material to the climate change debate. His engaging and balanced volume -- popular science writing at its most crucial -- is arguably the most readable, most comprehensive overview of large-scale solutions to climate change available. Everyone agrees we need to slash global greenhouse emissions. But how do we achieve that goal? **Goodall** profiles ten technologies to watch, explaining how they work and telling the stories of the inventors, scientists, and entrepreneurs who are driving them forward. Some of **Goodall** 's selections, such as the electric car, are familiar. Others, like algae and charcoal, are more surprising.

***Ten Technologies to Save the Planet* ** combines cutting-edge analysis and straightforward explanations about the pros and cons of each proposed solution and busts myths along the way.
