“This remarkable book from an expert in the energy field sets out, with enormous clarity and objectivity, the various alternative low-carbon pathways that are open to us. Policy makers, researchers, private sector decision makers, and NGOs, all will benefit from these words of wisdom.” Sir David King FRS, Chief Scientific Adviser to the UK Government, 2000-08

“a cold blast of reality … a must-read analysis … I found MacKay’s book by turns exhilarating and terrifying. His calculations are always thought-provoking even when his assumptions had me banging the table in disagreement. My objections often faded as his analysis unfolded.” 19 June 2009 – Science magazine -
