Kip Hansen book review — December 23, 2022

It might be a little late to order this book for yourself as a Christmas present but from the right source you can get a hard copy for comfortable reading during the long New Year’s weekends. And if you want to save a lot of money, give it a try Kindle version — and you’ll have it in no time!

Readers who come here already know that climate war not really about the climate or not at all climate. The climate war mainly about where modern civilization has been power. Where we get ours energy. The climate war is a backdoor attack on human civilization – especially the civilization of the poor, who, according to self-proclaimed great minds are organizing Great reset, still be poorespecially poor energy. The climate war mainly consists of a war against the use of coal, oil and natural gas – the source of energy that generates energy that humans use for almost any good purpose.

Governments around the world are spending your tax dollars (and € and and ₱ and ¥ and £) to subsidize solar and wind energy projects around the world with the aim of replacing homes Reliable coal, oil and natural gas power plants are now equal to Renewable energy changes.

And that’s basically.”seizure“. We all love renewable energy. What is the problem Change Recycled energy.

If you’re tired of talking about “renewable energy” with your colleagues at work, family, and friends, it’s most likely because when you get to work, you know it’s a big deal. problem, but you can’t really solve it. make a logical presentation of why it won’t work with humanity’s current technologies and why such “free energy” is actually more expensive in the real world.

Dr. Lars Schernikau and Professor William Hayden Smith to rescue!

Their new book, Uncommon facts about electricity and the future of energy, will give you the information you need to talk about the topic with a sense of authority backed by factual information. But even better than that, it will educate you about what Power and Energy are, how they are made, and how they help build and maintain civilization.

This extremely detailed book, full of clear illustrations and rich in information, covers so many important topics in the energy, energy and electrical fields that it is difficult to list them, but here is a sample example:

Primary Energy vs Electricity – What’s the Difference?

Wind and Solar Renewable Energy — Is It Really Renewable? Is it really cheaper?

Installed capacity versus generated electricity — How these terms are used to mislead governments and large investors

Hydrogen and batteries—Can they really solve the problem of storing electricity?

Transmission and distribution — Reality hidden problem faces both solar and wind power and the transition to battery-electric vehicles.

Energy shortages and energy starvation — Already a problem in many parts of the world.

Net return on energy investment (eROI)

“Net-Zero”, “decarbonisation”, “energy transition” and the future of energy and what that means for sustainability.

This is not a book for your local school district – it is not a book for children. It would be a good addition at the local university or community college library. It is a book written by scientists for the educated public.

If you’re serious about learning the truth about the world’s problems and energy systems – as well as potential solutions – this is the book for you.
