When the Light Goes On

 

Though it is  said that we live in the information age, pull the plug on any device and you will see that information evaporate in the absence of  a power source. Simply stated: information is entirely parasitic on energy. Though living in the most expansive energy age ever known to humanity, few people understand even the basics of energy itself, a topic which ranks with the three R's when it comes to relevance to human life. Though many people want to skip right over energy to talk about alternative energy, the lack of a foundation in understanding the nature of energy limits the conversation that can be had, the dialog that can be heard.

 

When the Light Goes On shows the few basic aspects of energy that must be known before a meaningful dialog to occur.  Understanding alternative energy is entirely dependent on understanding energy itself. This book begins by relating common misunderstandings that limit choice. A global energy map is given, as are sources and uses of energy. The difference between heat and energy is focal (and central to environmental concerns). Building on the basics of energy, the reader continues on a journey of examining energy use in daily life and evaluating simple ways to instantly--and painlessly--save 15-50%.

 

The book ends with an overview of alternative energy sources and types, and a brief description of benefits and drawbacks of each type. The goal of the book is to bootstrap lay people into position to have a meaningful conversation about energy and choice.
