Nothing moves without energy, and no energy can be used without disturbing the environment. But what are the real environmental problems surrounding energy consumption, and how can they best be solved?
In The Low Cost Planet, Dave Toke examines the broad range of issues - from energy efficiency and fossil fuels to nuclear power, pollution problems and renewable energy. Assessing the accuracy of established thinking which maintains that to tackle environmental problems will inevitably increase the monetary costs of supplying energy services, Dave Toke examines and compares a variety of solutions, concluding that the most fundamental energy and environmental problems can be resolved at no extra cost to the consumer.
'The Low Cost Planet is an original and wonderfully clear synthesis of the best of theory and practice in the goal of minimising the true cost of energy to society. I can't think of a better starting point for the general public, or a better refresher for policymakers.' Armond Cohen, Energy Project Director, Conservation Law Foundation
