David MacKay: Sustainable Energy - Without the Hot Air [Q&A] (pt. 5/5)

"The policy recommendation I'd like to make, which will perhaps answer your question about the future is, I would really like the public to engage in a numerate conversation about our energy options. Putting all the options on the table at once. So demand-side and supply-side options."

David MacKay, chief scientific adviser to the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change and professor of Physics at the University of Cambridge, discusses his book: "Sustainable Energy - Without the Hot Air."
