It is a remarkable story. A story filled with one-armed bigamists, Texas Rangers named Lone Wolf hired by the governor to arrest anyone producing oil cheaper than big oil would like. Clandestine meetings in Scottish castles. Footraces to patent offices to steal inventions allowed to lapse by illiterate Italian immigrants (and as a result, Bell is remembered as the inventor of the telephone).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNearly everything you ever learned about the history of energy is wrong. For example - Thomas Edison did not invent the light bulb. The Wright Brothers were not the first to fly. Henry Ford did not invent the automobile, or the assembly line... in fact he arrived fairly late to the entire party.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd then there are the formal conspiracy theories - Was Prohibition an attempt by Standard Oil to eliminate competition from ethanol? Did GM conspire to dismantle the light rail system across the U.S (the U.S. Supreme Court thought so).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur energy history leads to our energy present. A world that experienced peak coal (1998), peak natural gas (2003), and peak oil (2007). Will we repeat the same mistakes we have repeated many times before?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow that we know where we have been, and where we are - where are we going?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTen predictions for the coming two decades, as the BioMass Hits the Wind Turbine. For example: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhy the electric car will come to dominate transportation within 15 years.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhy all the media hype regarding the \"recent natural gas boom\" is just that - hype. We may soon be seeing a 3-5 fold increase in prices, and shortages resulting in massive imports of natural gas. Some boom, eh?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow the line between consumer and supplier of power will disappear - and the utility of the future may look very much like FaceBook.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnd ultimately, why energy will be free in the not too distant future.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eYes, everything is about to change. But rather than a future without hope - it will be a future without limits.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEasy to read. Entertaining. And packed with more facts than you will find pretty much anywhere (certainly more facts than you will find in Exxon's annual report).\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 424\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.86 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 18, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52759857365299,"sku":"9780979161117","price":29.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/dnlMQmtYTnNoUzljZ2ZDK09UVzlMUT09.webp?v=1764471706","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/when-the-biomass-hits-the-wind-turbine-how-we-got-ourselves-into-this-mess-and-how-we-are-going-to-get-out-of-it-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
