How the World Really Works: A Scientist's Guide to Our Past, Present and Future by Vaclav Smil

3.0
Veľmi dobré časti knihy o produkcii elektrickej energie, či závislosti na 4 top dôležitých materiáloch dneška. Menej záživné časti boli o riskoch či globalizácii.
Fakty z knihy dajú trochu reality do pohľadu na to ako rýchlo vieme dekarbonizovať našu spoločnosť. A že moc rýchlo teda nie a nie je to len o produkcii elektriny či lietaní lietadlami. Ale napríklad aj o tom, ako pestujeme a prevážame jedlo.
Celkovo fajn, ale tak polovicu knihy by som preškrtal a premazal len k tomu podstatnému.

Finally a lot of crappy books until now! This was a really good science book that talks about all things involved in society interacting with our living planet.
I'm glad the author recognizes and supports the obvious advantages of nuclear energy.
China made as much concrete in 2 years that the USA did in 50 years.
I like how he subtly addresses that veganism doesn't work and neither do alternative forms of energy (besides nuclear).
There has been no danger of a shortage of oxygen from the rain forests burning. Stupid French President. You should be in prison for your weak attempt of mass hysteria in order to line your pockets.
