Our Renewable Future: Laying the Path for One Hundred Percent Clean Energy

There has been a substantial chatter about the pros and cons of the main source of power in modern living. These and more have led us down a path that paints a bleak picture of our future energy needs. Finally, some have stepped up to take the responsibility for the many efforts of visionary people. Richard Heinberg and David Fridley have assumed a foxhole position in their new book Our Renewable Future. In it, they lay the path for one-hundred percent clean energy.

The book itself collects the best ideas, putting nuclear energy on the same stage as wind, hydro, and solar. The authors speak about the government’s role in the energy game. Each of these areas are examined with regard to where we fit in with each other as well as with governments and private sectors. The authors appear to feel that the biggest adjustment may very well come from the civilians—for sure presenting an enormous challenge.

Both authors enjoy a wide background that drives their purpose. While Heinberg is a recognized scholar and prolific writer, Fridley is also a distinguished writer and thinker in energy.
