This book makes two paradigm-challenging claims.
First, physical energy plays a far more fundamental role in economic
productivity and growth than most of the economists advising
business and government have ever acknowledged. The implications
for everyone who breathes, especially during the coming period of
hoped-for recovery and transition to the clean-energy economy of the
future, are enormous. Energy services aren’t just a large part of the
economy; they’re a major part of what drives the economy. And if that
is so, both the economic recovery and the energy transition will take
far longer than the Obama administration has counted on—unless
investment is targeted to the very specific technologies and industries
that make energy services cheaper. Shotgun spending won’t do that.
Second, the energy economy of the industrial world is so deeply
dependent on fossil fuels that even the fastest conceivable growth of
wind, solar, and other renewable-energy industries cannot substantially
replace oil, coal, and natural gas for at least several decades. Virtually
the entire capital infrastructure of the country—roads and
highways, electric power plants, transmission lines, airlines, shipping,
steel, chemicals, construction, and home heating and cooling—
depends on fossil fuels. Even if the use of electric cars and solar roof
panels were to grow as fast as the Internet did, they would still
account for only a drop in the ocean of energy we will use during the
next two decades.
