Summary of Peter Kelly-Detwiler's The Energy Switch
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 In 2019, I visited the Brayton Point coal-fired power plant in Fall River, Massachusetts. The plant had generated 20 percent of Massachusetts' electricity supply, supported hundreds of well-paying jobs, and provided $4 million in annual tax revenues to the town of Somerset.
#2 The collapse of the towers was extremely dramatic. It took only five seconds for both towers to collapse, and a huge dust plume blew across the bay.
#3 The death of Brayton Point coal power plant illustrates the changing nature of the energy industry. While gas plants are not carbon-free, they do help push coal plants out of the market.
#4 The biggest global challenge of our day is to slow down and limit the change in the climate so we can live within a habitable climate. As a significant contributor of carbon emissions, our energy systems will have to rapidly evolve to meet this challenge.
