About this listen
*The perfect Christmas gift for people who love to know how things work*
'A stimulating and affable overview of how major feats of engineering can help the world beat the climate crisis' NEW STATESMAN
'This hugely readable energy odyssey is now part of my climate change crib sheet.' HELEN ARNEY
----------
We rarely think about the energy systems that prop up our existence. With hot water, lighting and digital entertainment all available at the flick of a switch, it's easy to underestimate the vast global network that makes these things possible.
In Power Up engineer Yasmin Ali takes us on a journey across the globe to reveal the bigger picture, from solar farms shimmering in the desert to power stations hidden deep in the mountains. We learn where we get energy from, how it is moved and used around the world - and why we need to understand the whole system if we want to transition towards a clean, green future.
Power Up is a brilliant behind-the-scenes tour of the energy system, and an essential tool in understanding the challenges of climate change.
