Unreviewed Titles

Here are some of the titles that I have not given a thorough review but I have read at least in part and are worth checking out.

Sustainable Energy Innovation
a new era for australia Ed Stephen Schuck
Published 2002
Funded by various Government Agencies and energy related companies.

The content is surprising, and credit goes to the companies making an effort to generate energy in a sustainably. In the absence of any other similar up-to-date book, this is a good starting point to find out about which companies are involved and what they are doing.

In its historical context, it shows how Australia could have been an international leader of sustainable energy generation technology and could have already been making deep cuts in CO2 emissions, if the Howard government was not so mesmerized by fossil fuels.

The info is dated and some projects are repeated which appears to pad-out the book and give the impression of diverse content. It is out of print, and no longer worth the asking price. Worth a look if you can get it second hand. Also the publisher has other titles in this series some of which are more recent. Likely to contain degrees of Greenwashing.
