[SustainableTompkins] Environmental Impacts of Energy Generation

[Mike Pitzrick]

Hi Joey,

Be sure to check out Heat: How to Stop the Planet from Burning by George
Monbiot for a very readable analysis of how to arrest global warming,
including a comparison of the effects of various energy generation
technologies on greenhouse gas emissions.

Here are a few web links with more information about the book:

.

Heat won't be released in the US until July, so I've ordered two copies from
amazon.ca so I can lend them around. Please let me know if you'd like to
read it!

"To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and
refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy,
not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen
to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all
cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word to let
the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is
to be my symphony."  --William Ellery Channing 1780
