A recently published book, “Power Hungry” by Robert Bryce, tries to make the argument that wind energy is a sham. Mr. Bryce is connected with a think tank called the Manhattan Institute, based in New York. He has written about energy issues for two decades, according to the Institute’s website. Based on this book, he has not learned the difference between fact and fiction.
In a critique, AWEA’s Michael Goggin exposes several of the key errors and misstatements in Mr. Bryce’s book.
An excerpt from his critique:
Quote : I decided to read Mr. Bryce’s book…because it continues to receive a fair amount of press attention. Reporters and columnists be warned—Power Hungry is a poorly researched ideological screed, rather than a thoughtful inquiry into energy policy, and should not be taken seriously as a reference.
