About the book
Robert B. Laughlin, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist, examines the fundamental challenges of energy and sustainable development in the 21st century. The book goes beyond simplistic solutions to explore the real physical and economic limitations involved in large-scale energy production and consumption.
Laughlin argues that many popular proposals for solving the energy crisis ignore basic principles of thermodynamics and economic analysis. With a rigorous scientific perspective, the author offers a realistic view of humanity's energy future and the trade-offs necessary for a sustainable transition.
