Helpful Resource for Sustainable Energy Projects

Dear class,

For anyone who is doing a project involving sustainable energy or alternatives to fossil fuels, David JC MacKay, a Physics professor at Cambridge, has written a helpful book called Sustainable Energy – Without the Hot Air.  The book is freely available for educational purposes online at www.withouthotair.com .  MacKay explains various forms of energy use (wind, solar, hydroelectric, etc.) and the implications of their use, as well as various factors which expend energy (such as technology and food supply systems).  I hope this resource can help people with their project research.  Please take a look.

Good luck,

Carmen
