Sustainable Energy – without the Hot Air

Before becoming Advisor to the Department of Energy and Climate Change last year, David McKay wrote this penetrative book looking at the reality behind the energy challenges we face.   From building wind farms to installing heat pumps, from avoiding packaging to putting on a wooly jumper, McKay takes you through his analysis of what difference each step can make. When you add  them all up, we’ve got a long cycle path ahead of us. Sections for both lay and technically-minded readers alike. You can read the whole of this book online at  http://www.withouthotair.com/

REFRESHMENTS AND DISCUSSIONS AFTERWARDS

When filmmaker Josh Fox is asked to lease his land for drilling, he embarks on a cross-country odyssey uncovering a trail of secrets, lies and contamination. A recently drilled nearby Pennsylvania town reports that residents are able to light their drinking water on fire. This is just one of the many absurd and astonishing revelations of a new country called GASLAND. Part vérité travelogue, part expose, part mystery, part bluegrass banjo meltdown, part showdown.
