Abstract

The Energy Transition Paradox: A Pragmatic Roadmap for Powering the Future examines the global energy transition through the lenses of physics, engineering, economics, materials, infrastructure, geopolitics, and human behavior. It challenges overly simplistic assumptions about replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy and emphasizes the scale, cost, material requirements, intermittency, storage, and infrastructure constraints involved. Drawing on energy history and practical industry perspectives, the book evaluates renewable technologies, nuclear power, fusion, geothermal energy, hydrogen, and long-duration storage. It also explores climate science, energy poverty, resource security, and policy trade-offs. Ultimately, the book proposes a pragmatic, evidence-based framework for achieving a reliable, affordable, secure, and progressively lower-carbon energy system.
