Summary

"Blackout: Coal, Climate and the Last Energy Crisis goes to the heart of the tough energy questions that will dominate every sphere of public policy throughout the first half of this century. The book offers a bracing analysis of the future of coal, the dirtiest of all fossil fuels, concluding that: the peak or world coal production may be less than two decades away; our ability to minimize climate change will hinge on reducing, not increasing, our coal consumption; and "clean coal" technology cannot be developed on a large scale." --Book Jacket
