About this title

Synopsis

Upending most conventional ideas about energy use and the economy, Invisible Energy shows how expanded efforts toward efficiency-supported by new technologies and governmental regulations-can drastically reduce greenhouse emissions. Arguing that the economy has been hobbled for the last 35 years by negative climate and energy policies, this book shows how improved efficiencies will promote greater economic growth, not less, providing significant economic benefits both to consumers and a wide range of businesses.
