THE FUTURE OF ENERGY IN 100 QUESTIONS

The essential keys to understanding the great changes that are coming near in the world of energy. A complete vision of the energy sources, the scientific consensus on anthropogenic climate change, and the future of energy efficiency: forecasts on the end of oil, and the future of nuclear energy, the challenge of the electric mix 100% renewable to a medium term, and the future of nuclear fusion, the economy of hydrogen, and the change of paradigm in transport.
Is natural gas the least polluting fossil fuel? What is fracking? Does nuclear energy have a future? Could we cover all our energy needs with the energy from the sun? Could we extract energy from the sea? What are the main biofuels? What are the most effective individual actions to combat climate change? Could Latin America develop a completely renewable electric mix? What is self-consumption of electricity? Do hydrogen-powered vehicles have a future? Can you get a house to not need HVAC? What will be the batteries of the future? Will we get to see a world where energy is 100% renewable?
