ECOSHOCK — Is Alternative Energy a Solution?
Ozzie Zehner rains on the parade — California engineer, and student of alternative energy Ozzie Zehner on his 2012 book ” Green Illusions: The Dirty Secrets of Clean Energy and the Future of Environmentalism”.
Are we suffering from illusions about alternative energy? Have solar panels become a pointless fetish that could make climate change worse? What about electric cars? Is the whole “green energy” game just an extension of the fossil fuel industry, dressed up in green clothing?
Those are the claims made by a California engineer, and student of alternative energy. Ozzie Zehner published all this in his 2012 book ” Green Illusions: The Dirty Secrets of Clean Energy and the Future of Environmentalism”. The book has won awards and caused a stir.
For this radio program, I’m going to run you a talk given by Ozzie on September 19th, 2012. It’s part of the “Authors at Google” series – and there were green energy techies from Google in the audience. We’ll get some questions from them.
Speakers: Ozzie Zehner. Talk originally part of “Authors at Google” series, California September 19, 2012.
