Powering the dream : the history and promise of green technology
by Alexis MadrigalFew today realize that electric cabs dominated Manhattan's streets in the 1890s; that Boise, Idaho, had a geothermal heating system in 1910; or that the first megawatt turbine in the world was built in 1941 by the son of publishing magnate G.

Shows you how the market can be so manipulative that even superior technology can fail. Recommended read if you are interested in green energy yet don't understand why it hasn't take off yet.
I found this book to be well organized, with the 288 numbered pages of text divided into 27 chapters and grouped into 5 sections, making it easy to read a chapter at a time. A 19-page index allows the reader to find the full name and introduction to characters later referred to by last name only, and 26 pages of end-notes pointing to 31 pages of bibliographic information indicate the quantity of sources used compiling the stories.
Madrigal's book is a history of clean energy technology and the many wrong turns. Many environmentalists get too excited about the prospect of making our current society run on wind turbines and solar energy.
