At least in terms of existential crisis of global warming, both approaches arrive in overall agreement at the same present situation. Rhodes, in my estimation, has more to offer in terms of possible futures from this point forward. This book goes into the sources of your energy. It explains the original power that you have ‘received’. In The Planet Remade, leading science writer Oliver Morton takes us on a thrilling journey through the world of geo-engineering. I wanted to conclude by breaking the rules and talking briefly about a sixth text. This is not a book but a recent academic article. I’ve included it both because it is an absolutely superb piece of writing and also because it was written by a woman. All the rest of the works in this list are by men. That troubled me. Climate change already disproportionately affects women. In many places, for example, they have to travel further for water and for wood as a result of temperature and rainfall change. However the world of energy production and energy research, as well writing about energy, is wholly dominated by men. This has to change.
As time went on, I came to realise that most people did not want a world in which energy was scarce or its use guilt-generating. ”Contrary to popular belief, the ancient spiritual tradition of tantra isn’t all about sex. Tantra is in fact a way of understanding and experiencing the world that emphasises the interconnectedness of all things. Tantra teaches that the physical and the spiritual are not separate, but are two aspects of the same reality. I think that is indeed what he wanted us to take away from this. He hoped we would say ‘Crikey, this is going to be very difficult indeed. We really do need to invest in nuclear energy. We don’t have any choice’. But I think that a lot of his assumptions about renewables now look very conservative. Renewables such as wind and solar are far, far more effective sources of energy than he indicated a decade ago. Some psychologists also view dark feminine energy as a way to challenge traditional gender roles and societal norms. By embracing their own power and strength, women can break free from the constraints of patriarchal society and assert their own identities. This can lead to greater self-confidence, self-esteem, and a sense of purpose. Author Insights Renewable energy sources are very important in the fight against global warming because they do not produce greenhouse gases like fossil fuels do.
Personal interests and goals: Consider what aspects of tantra intrigue you the most. Are you interested in the philosophical, spiritual, or practical aspects? Clarify your goals, whether they involve personal growth, enhancing relationships, or spiritual exploration. However, he also points out that the the invention of the Haber-Bosch process in the first decades of the twentieth century enabled the world to convert fossil fuels into nitrogen-based agricultural fertiliser and he calls this geoengineering as well. The application of artificial fertiliser to fields expanded the total amount of energy from food that’s available to the planet’s inhabitants. In turn, that loosened the Malthusian constraints on the world’s population. Smil has shown that before the use of fossil fuels for such things as fertiliser energy availability per person was only a few kilowatt hours a day. However, if you ‘re open to new experiences and are looking for a way to connect with yourself and with the world around you, then tantra may be a valuable practice for you to explore. 3 benefits of tantra Nuclear power's public health record more than compensates for its few occupational accidents. Its limited air pollution combined with its extremely low greenhouse emissions and its 24/7 availability more than 90 percent of the time make it easily the most promising single energy source available to cope with twenty-first-century energy challenges.Audiobook. I cannot say enough about this. It is completely outstanding. When I saw that it was by Richard Rhodes, I couldn’t wait to read it. This is a comprehensive, well thought out and researched book on the history of energy conversion across the last 400 years and its overwhelming and undeniable benefit to the quality of human life and longevity. Windfall: How the New Energy Abundance Upends Global Politics and Strengthens America’s Power by Meghan L. O’Sullivan People have lived and died, businesses have prospered and failed, and nations have risen to world power and declined, all over energy challenges. Ultimately, the history of these challenges tells the story of humanity itself. This book aims to help people achieve an individual well-being. It gives clear advice on how to do it. It is written as a self-help book helping to bring balance and harmony to our body and mind.
