Summary:
"It's an astonishing fact that capturing all the
energy
in just
one
hour's worth of sunlight would enable us to meet the planet's
food
and
energy
needs for an entire year... The
Solar
Revolution
tells the story of how scientists are working to reconnect us to the '
solar
economy', harnessing the power of the sun to provide sustainable
food
and
energy
for a global population of
10
billion
people
: an achievement that would end our dependence on 'fossilised sunshine' in the form of coal, oil and gas and remake our connection with the soil that grows our
food
... Steve McKevitt and Tony Ryan describe the human race's complex relationship with the sun and take us back through history to see how our
world
became the place it is today--chemically, geologically, ecologically, climatically and economically--before moving on to the cutting-edge science and technology that will enable us to live happily in a sustainable future."--From publisher.
