Perhaps, but Vijay Vaitheeswaran, the energy and environment correspondent for \u003ci\u003eThe Economist\u003c\/i\u003e, sees great opportunity in the energy realm today, and \u003ci\u003ePower to the People\u003c\/i\u003e is his fiercely independent and irresistibly entertaining look at the economic, political, and technological forces that are reshaping the world's management of energy resources. In it, he documents an energy revolution already underway--a revolution as radical as the communications revolution of the past decades.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e From the corporate boardroom of a Texas oil titan who denies the reality of global warming to a think tank nestled in the Rocky Mountains where a visionary named Amory Lovins is developing the kind of hydrogen fuel-cell technology that could make the internal combustion engine obsolete, Vaitheeswaran gamely pursues the people who hold the keys to our future.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Man's quest for energy is insatiable. It is also essential. By avoiding the traditional binaries that pit free markets against the wisdom of conservation and the need for clean energy, \u003ci\u003ePower to the People\u003c\/i\u003e is a book that debunks myths without debunking hope.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54421692219665,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781466893740.jpg?v=1787586902","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-power-to-the-people-by-vijay-v-vaitheeswaran","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
