In this book, Vaclav Smil argues that power density is a key determinant of the nature and dynamics of energy systems. Any understanding of complex energy systems must rely on quantitative measures of many fundamental variables. Power density—the rate of energy flux per unit of area—is an important but largely overlooked measure. Smil provides the first systematic, quantitative appraisal of power density, offering detailed reviews of the power densities of renewable energy flows, fossil fuels, thermal electricity generation, and all common energy uses.

A Different Look at the Pros and Cons of Renewable Energy and Fossil Fuels
Revisado: 07-10-24
A captivating analysis of how impactful it is that fossil fuels are such a dense store of energy and the benefits that arise from that. A non apologetic look at the costs, in both space and resources, of switching to a renewable grid.
Many parts of the book read more like a text books due to the large quantity of supporting data and analysis. Despite sounding dry, the arguments remain cohesive, even in an audiobook format.
There were a few inconsistencies in the audio and a few unnatural pauses that were a but jarring so the performance did not get a full 5 stars.
