Cuanto más sabemos sobre las consecuencias catastróficas del cambio climático, más combustibles fósiles quemamos. ¿Cómo terminamos en este lío? En este magistral documento de historia, Andreas Malm afirma que todo comenzó en Gran Bretaña con el auge de la energía de vapor. Pero, ¿por qué los fabricantes pasaron de las fuentes tradicionales de energía, en particular los molinos de agua, a un motor de carbón? Contrariamente a las opiniones establecidas, el vapor no ofrecía ni una e...

The promise of "green jobs" and a "clean energy future" has roused the masses. But as Robert Bryce makes clear in this provocative book, that vision needs a major re-vision. We cannot -- and will not -- quit using carbon-based fuels at any time in the near future for a simple reason: they provide the horsepower that we crave. The hard reality is that oil, coal, and natural gas are here to stay. Fueling our society requires more than sentiment and rhetoric; we need to make good decisions and smar...

Sizing is the first step in solar PV system design. It is the most important part of PV system design and founded on it, everything is worked upon. Over the years, many systems have failed, not because of incorrect installation, or equipment failure. It was because the owner thought that he would get more power than the system could deliver. In recent studies, it has been seen that 10-25% of new PV solar installations have huge installation and sizing problems that will result in significantly d...
