By: David JC MacKay   | Series: without the hot air 

The enlightening, best-selling book on understanding sustainable energy and how we can make energy plans that add up.

If you've ever wondered how much energy we use, and where it comes from – and where it could come from – but are fed up with all the hot air and 'greenwash', this is the book for you. Renewable resources are 'huge', but our energy consumption is also 'huge'. To compare 'huge' things with each other, we need numbers, not adjectives.

Sustainable Energy – without the hot air addresses the energy crisis objectively, cutting through all the contradictory statements from the media, government, and lobbies of all sides. It gives you the numbers and the facts you need, in bite-sized chunks, so you can understand the issues yourself and organises a plan for change on both a personal level and an international scale – for Europe, the United States, and the world. In case study format, this informative book also answers questions surrounding nuclear energy, the potential of sustainable fossil fuels, and the possibilities of sharing renewable power with foreign countries.

Written by David MacKay, who was an esteemed Professor of Engineering at the University of Cambridge and Chief Scientific Advisor to the UK Department of Climate Change, this is an uplifting, jargon-free and informative read for all. In it, David debunks misinformation and clearly explains the calculations of expenditure per person to encourage people to make individual changes that will benefit the world at large.

If you've thrown your hands up in despair thinking no solution is possible, then read this book - it's an honest, realistic, and humorous discussion of all our energy options.

100% in love ❤️
Color: Champagne Fawn, Size: 60"x80"
If you're on the fence about this blanket like I was, I can confidently tell you - Just buy it! This blanket has become my new emotional support blanket. Immediately out of the box I knew this was going to be luxurious. You can Immediately feel the incredible softness and weight, with the visual attention to detail and beautiful coloration. This blanket was definitely well made and worth the price. I can't get enough of the touch and feel of the faux fur, it is beyond soft and tranquil. I sometimes use it in place of my bed comforter because of how amazing it feels on the skin. It is quite hefty, with an estimated weight of 10 pounds with the 60 x 80 size, but I feel as though it adds to the luxurious comfort. I also love how it will keep you warm, but it won't make you sweat. It still has a cooling effect. You will not regret buying this blanket - Treat yourself!

Talk about SOFT!!!
Color: Champagne Fawn, Size: 50"x60"
Definitely a premium product! Softness is a 10/10 very little shedding and the stitching is solid. Medium to heavy weighted throw blanket. Picture is exactly what u get in person. It’s very cool to the touch and again so soft and dense. I lay with it on me watching tv and it’s definitely a sensory thing, I can’t stop touching it. Best blanket I ever had. The material underneath is very soft as well and keeps you warm. I bought the matching pillow case and it’s equally just as good. In my opinion it’s worth the money if u have it to spend. I plan on getting the bigger size blanket on prime day.

GORGEOUS!
Color: Champagne Fawn, Size: 60"x80"
Large and durable faux fur that is heavy and keeps you warm. It is so soft and fluffy. Super good quality and I love the champagne color. The cotton content is perfect and feels extremely soft on the skin. The price is high even though I bought it on sale. The value is worth it and I will buy another one when it goes on sale!
