Fueled by oil, coal, and natural gas, we changed the equation constraining the carrying capacity of our planet.Netflix adaptation of Jenny Han's " To All the Boys I've Loved Before" series, but if you've somehow missed the cultural phenomenon, it's a must-read. What alternatives should we deploy right now? Which technologies merit further research and development?

Taking off the rose-colored glasses, author Alice Friedemann analyzes our options. And, as detailed in the author's previous book, "When Trucks Stop Running: Energy and the Future of Transportation," ships, locomotives, and heavy-duty trucks are fueled by diesel.
Industry uses fossil fuels as a feedstock for countless products, and must find substitutes. Manufacturing, which uses half of fossil fuels, often requires very high heat, which in many cases electricity can't provide. The book also looks at substitute energy sources from the standpoint of the energy users. There are however a few exceptions - When Ghosts Speak by Mary Ann Winkowski which is about her experiences with ghosts, and My Travels in the Spirit World. Surveying the arsenal of alternatives – wind, solar, hydrogen, geothermal, nuclear, batteries, catenary systems, fusion, methane hydrates, power2gas, wave, tidal power and biomass – this book examines whether they can replace or supplement fossil fuels.

They are essential to transportation, manufacturing, farming, electricity, and to make fertilizers, cement, steel, roads, cars, and half a million other products. Today, our economy is utterly dependent on fossil fuels. This book is a reality check of where energy will come from in the future.
