Beyond Light Bulbs is a fascinating book with eco-friendly solutions and six methods to get environmental energy planning & management back on track. Reduction in emissions is one of the targeted energy management strategies this book identifies. Feeding back to the grid is sustainable mode of producing better energy cycle flow.
From petrol gas consumption studies to practical tips regarding one person roles in recycling, this book is a clean green read. Global policies and standards are fleshed out, helping the single person understand the relationship between the big picture and the personal recycling microcosm.
Duct sealing, weather stripping, green building, and questions about relevant energy production and ethical production methods abound. Personal re-use methods like air drying clothes and ride sharing is urged. Tidal energy, hydropower energy, geothermal energy, and natural gas efficiencies are explored.
Beyond Light Bulbs touts Reduce, ReUse, and Recycle as its motto. But the book also compares the rapidity of renewable energy soruces and plots their tradeoff uses in a navigable scenario of energy plenty. But how possible is it these scenarios will ever be practiced in the real?
Onshore wind energy and offshore wind production prompts interesting questions. Meredith urges energy technology and sustainable idea investment. What if there was an investment tax credit for energy investment? What if the government matched a split dollar amount of investment currency for every Green energy investment made? Surely this kind of bandwagon support would pay off.
Meredith plows lightly into exhaustive energy production alternatives. But this is becoming more common as various geographic areas with climatically unique natural topography become obvious. Perhaps varied energy storage methods like compressed air and hydroelectric water are appropriate. Now if we can only get the money to build them.
Meredith urges political consideration for energy friendly politicians. But the author makes a difficult point. A bridge to permanent energy solutions may be hybrid cars and solar photovoltaic lights, but for permanent environment recovery, these volumes of adoption have to be comprehensive.
At present, a small percentage of home residents and home builders make sustainable choices for energy and the home on a scale that redeems cost and planning. Energy Star appliances are a good start, but the adoption of green energy methods must be more saturated within residential and business architecture to yield the returns green building acolytes predict.
Beyond Light Bulbs does make the case that viable green energy and renewable energy prediction technologies are available. But hedging the discourse in this book is the frank assumption that more attitudinal changes must happen everywhere to execute these important steps toward energy production in a sustainable
