Most of what we hear or read about climate change and energy is biased information designed to support certain narratives. This has led to widespread misconceptions about these critical topics. This book provides a simple yet efficient approach to tackle the misinformation and a path to a smarter energy future. The human society is faced with a crucial question: How to affordably meet our growing energy needs while minimizing the impact on the environment? This question poses an extraordinary challenge. The constant glut of misinformation is making the challenge even more difficult. In this book, Dr. Tushar Choudhary, an eminent energy expert, focuses on both the science and practical aspects of climate and energy for his analysis of the misinformation crisis. He uses the most reliable information available to address five key questions:
Why is the climate and energy misinformation very dangerous for our future?
What are the common misconceptions about climate change, renewable energy, fossil fuels, electrification, and the low carbon energy transition?
