This book provides a simple yet efficient approach to tackle misinformation and discusses a path to a smarter energy future.
In this book, Dr. Tushar Choudhary, an eminent energy expert, focuses on both the science and practical aspects of climate and energy for his analysis. He uses the most reliable information available to address five key questions: 1 Why is the climate and energy misinformation very dangerous for our future? 2 What are the common misconceptions about climate change, renewable energy, fossil fuels, electrification, and the low carbon energy transition? 3 What is the reason for the rampant misinformation? 4 How to avoid the devious misinformation trap? and 5 How to best address our climate and energy challenges? |
Preface
Conversations with my dad are not typical. Our discussions are mainly about issues related to energy. Perhaps this is because we have dedicated a combined seventy years to energy R&D.
Energy solutions for climate change have been the focus of the discussions in recent years. These discussions invariably reach the same conclusions:
The balanced discussions might be uncomfortable to those with extreme views. That is not my intent, but balanced discussions are essential to meet the goals of the book.
I believe that my experience and passion have equipped me well to provide a balanced view. My experience includes projects related to both low carbon energy and fossil fuel energy. Since retiring from the energy industry in early 2019, I have declined offers to consult for the fossil fuel industry as well as the green industry. I am not financially obligated to any special interests or research grants. I donate the earnings from my books to charity. My passion is to enable the best energy solutions to meet global challenges. These attributes allow a bias-free environment for my assessments.
This work has been made easier by my earlier books: a) Critical Comparison of Low-Carbon Technologies (2020) and b) Climate & Energy Decoded (2022).

Energy solutions for climate change have been the focus of the discussions in recent years. These discussions invariably reach the same conclusions:
- Extreme views from both sides are causing a misinformation crisis.
- Sustainable progress is not likely until the impact from the misinformation is mitigated.
The balanced discussions might be uncomfortable to those with extreme views. That is not my intent, but balanced discussions are essential to meet the goals of the book.
