Unstoppable: Harnessing Science to Change the World by Bill Nye

4.0


An overview of alternative energy sources (and bad old fossil fuel sources) for people without a science degree. He started with nuclear power, which made my head hurt just a little because it was very science-y. (Some Goldilocks tale about uranium moving too slow, too fast, and just right.) The rest of the book was quite accessible, outlining possible energy sources from huge solar platforms in space, to the more familiar wind and rooftop solar panels. My favorite part was the description of his friendly (?) rivalry with neighbor Ed Begley, Jr about who has the greener home.
