| Abstract
|
:
|
"In keeping The Lights On, Walt Patterson starts from a simple premise : that we are making a mess of energy, and this is endangering the planet. Using accessible, everyday language Patterson describes how we could do much better, outlining a different way to think about energy, what we want from it and how we get it."--Jacket.
