The end of energy obesity: breaking todays energy addiction for a prosperous and secure tomorrow

Most of the discussion among experts, policy makers and concerned citizens isabout changing the nature of our energy diet - by substituting traditional energy sources with new or improved alternatives such as solar power, biofuels, or wind - or on converting more energy into useful work through improvements in efficiency. Although these are necessary efforts worthy of scientific and entrepreneurial endeavor and undeniably part of the overall solution, our efforts to find alternative sources for the energy we already consume are insufficient for handling the magnitude of the problems we are facing. This book takes the energy discussion a step further by examining habits, lifestyles, mindsets and technologies that might seem alternative now, but will soon become part ofthe way we live. According to author Peter Tertzakian, to have a successful impact on reducing our energy appetite, any potential changes we make to our lifestyle, habits and mindset will need to be just as eagerly and widely adopted.
