A Scientific Tale of Jealousy, Genius and Electricity.
This book reveals the revolutionary work of inventors and scientists who are developing clean and "fuelless" new ways to produce the electricity we need for the twenty-first century and beyond. Here are the technologies that could drastically change the economic, political and environmental conditions of the world we live in for the better. If they can be developed commercially, they offer almost costless energy, the end of the oil economy and the "democratisation" of electricity throughout the developed and underdeveloped world.
Drawing on extensive and revealing new research, their book uncovers the extraordinary lives of the inventors and the scientists behind these technologies and the power struggles that face those who challenge the scientific status quo. The book contains the elements of a dramatic conspiracy thriller in which greed, mendacity, murder, suicide, suppression, betrayal, jealousy, madness and misunderstood genius all play their full parts. It also investigates the complex psychology of invention and the claims that some inventors are either self-deluded mavericks of charlatans who aim to trick gullible investors out of their savings.
Most importantly, there are technologies here that offer to solve the planet's most serious problem: global warming and climate change caused by fossil fuel power plants and car emissions. Is the technological solution to the global warming contained within these pages?
