Its an astonishing fact that capturing all the energy in just one hours worth of sunlight would enable us to meet the planets food & energy needs for an entire year. Project Sunshine tells the story of how scientists are working to reconnect us to the solar economy harnessing the power of the sun to provide sustainable food & energy for a global population of 9 billion people: an achievement that would end our dependence on fossilised sunshine in the form of coal oil & gas & remake our connection with the soil that grows our food. Steve Mc Kevitt & Tony Ryan describe the human races complex relationship with the sun & take us back through history to see how our world became the place it is today
- chemically geologically ecologically climatically & economically
- before moving on to the cutting-edge science & technology that will enable us to live happily in a sustainable future. Like no other book Project Sunshine gives a true picture of how we are going to live
- & going to have to live
- in the surprisingly near future.
