Wind Power in Power Systems
This is a pretty ordinary history book. The author does cover some interesting topics, specifically:
1. The patent disputes during the very early days of the auto industry,
2. Ford and Edison's aborted plan to develop an "electric Model-T,"
3. The Milwaukee Railroad, its 600 mile electric railway over the Rockies, and its financial misfortunes,
4. GM's successful scheme to buy up and shut down all the electric trolleys in the U.S. in the 1930's and 40's, thereby forcing people to ride gasoline or diesel GM buses or buy cars,
5. Honda's development of a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle and the prospects for hydrogen fuel cells to replace gasoline internal combustion engines.
A peculiarity of the book is it's overly dramatic prose and constant suggestion of dark powers at work that suppress clean, wonderful electric power and promote smelly, nasty internal combustion. The author never proves or even clearly outlines this sinister plot, which is sort of disappointing.
Another problem is his lack of technical expertise. He is a journalist and one has the impression he doesn't really understand the technicalities of the automobile engine. He makes such claims as "Brazilian ethanol contains several times more energy than America ethanol." He doesn't seem to understand the differences between starter batteries for a gasoline engines and batteries used for powering electric cars.
In short, a moderately interesting history book
