The coming energy revolution will provide each and every one of us with our own unlimited sources of non-polluting energy--but not without a struggle.  The new-energy innovators say that conventional science is wrong, and that new-energy research is being suppressed by a combination of scientific inertia and corporate self-interest. This book examines the technologies on which these inventors are working.  There is a gentler form of nuclear energy that can take place on a table top.  There is hydrogen, a clean, abundant fuel that can be produced wherever needed.  There is a form of hydropower that does not rely on massive dams.  Manning looks at them all, and at the kinds of changes that will be needed to overcome the roadblocks between our old energy present and our new-energy future.
