In this short, sharp book, Richard Lyon - electrical engineer, petroleum engineer and energy economist - strips the energy debate back to the physics. What he finds is alarming: the fossil fuels are running out, the proposed replacements can't do the job and the people in charge don't understand the science well enough to realise.

But this is not a counsel of despair. There is a way through - if we stop wasting what remains on systems that can't work and start building the one that can.©2026 Richard Lyon (P)2026 Little, Brown Book Group Limited Engineering Power Resources
