The book focuses on green vehicles and the interrelationship between their design and various energy sources. The author explains simply and clearly the complex energy and automotive engineering issues involved in developing green vehicles, measures their likely effect on energy resource demand, and considers what they might mean for national energy strategy. Addressing problems associated with renewable resources often overlooked or ignored in the popular press, the author explains what replacing oil with alternative sources of energy realistically entails.
