A bit generalised?
I was a bit disappointed with this book. I had expected it to tell me more about the technology of various energy suppliers, distributors etc. It is more of a general overview of the different sources, rather than focus on say hydro, coal, nuclear, fossil fuels separately. You need to read and pick the information across the various chapters in order to find out about one source. A bit frustrating at times.
