Reseña del libro "Good Energy: Renewable Power and the Design of Everyday Life (en Inglés)"
"There's nothing 'alternative' anymore about clean energy and green design. As this book makes beautifully clear, the future is here"-- Bill McKibben, author of Falter: Has the Human Game Begun to Play Itself Out? Smart design can make solar, wind, and geothermal energy beautiful, affordable, and accessible to all. Thirty-five projects from around the world demonstrate that clean, healthy energy is within reach in every sector and field. Projects include homes at all scales and for all climates, schools, parks, and offices, and even power plants. Harmonizing nature, technology, and space, each project in Good Energy shows how design can improve planetary well-being while producing cost savings and creating green jobs.

The book includes a foreword by artist and landscape designer Walter Hood, founder of Hood Design Studio, and an interview with Mark Z. Jacobson, Stanford University professor of civil and environmental engineering and a cofounder of the Solutions Project.
