Australian Sustainable Energy - by the numbers

A new book by Dr Peter Seligman

The Melbourne Energy Institute is pleased to offer Dr Peter Seligman's new book Australian Sustainable Energy- by the numbers or free download.

Based on (English Physicist) David MacKay's Sustainable Energy - without the hot air, Peter Seligman's book provides a clear account of Australia's renewable energy potential. Peter has analysed a raft of available technologies, and offers a blueprint of a nation-wide renewable energy system based on the most efficient mix of technology, societal, and habitual changes.

Peter's approach is to identify and emphasise strategies based on what the numbers dictate here and now. He is critical of "futile greeness", namely, actions based overly on sentiment as opposed to substance. In this manner he offers a range of responses, suitable to different levels of the energy system, which reliable live up to the adage 'bang for buck'.
