The Environmentalist
This user-friendly title written by an expert in power engineering provides a clearly illustrated guide to renewable energy, its benefits and applications
EXCELLENT!! By P. Martin
I was writing a dissertation on integrating renewable energies into the home and this was probably the most helpful book I read during the course of my studies. Bearing in mind that I have probably read about 25 books on this topic it says a lot for the book and its author!! Highly recommended!!
A wise man from the east! By A. Cargill
Experience is everything and Dr McCrea has drawn on his extensive depth of knowledge, insight and hands-on experience to bring to the masses an excellent publication. This book explains this subject better than most and I would highly recommend it to anyone who has an interest in energy matters of today and tomorrow. Great job Andy!

Addressing the sustainable energy crisis in an objective manner, this enlightening book analyzes the relevant numbers and organizes a plan for change on both a personal level and an international scale--for Europe, the United States, and the world. In case study format, this informative reference answers questions surrounding nuclear energy, the potential of sustainable fossil fuels, and the possibilities of sharing renewable power with foreign countries. While underlining the difficulty of minimizing consumption, the tone remains positive as it debunks misinformation and clearly explains the calculations of expenditure per person to encourage people to make individual changes that will benefit the world at large.
