Electric Water

"Electric Water offers a vision of a near future where quality of life is dramatically improved for all without drastic scalebacks. The vision is based on technology - solar energy, water purification, transportation and eco-restoration - that already exists. It is attainable within 20 years and represents thousands of jobs, in urban and rural areas, and economic development globally. The book does a thorough job addressing fears that transitioning from fossil fuels will result in economic collapse, explaining how the new technologies will in fact create economic development." "Electric Water approaches the issues of energy and water from the perspective of the user and the customer, and how they can not only eliminate pollution, but also contribute to restoration of the planet - because it makes economic sense to do so." "The book is written for a general audience interested in new technology and new trends, including energy advocates; managers in the energy, auto, water, agricultural and manufacturing industries; environmental groups and policy organizations; academics focused on energy and water issues, transportation and land use; and architects, planners and engineers."--Jacket.
